Aristotle

Aristotle believes that happiness is the ultimate goal of life. Unless you work hard and succeed, you can not get happiness. This is where virtues come into play. Human function is to participate in "activity of soul that matches virtue" and "matching with reason" (p. 76, Palmer). These two virtues are intellectuals and morals. Our virtue makes us all personal. The virtue of the intellectual was born with us and we learned.

Aristotle is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers in history, and today he can feel his influence. Aristotle writes various topics such as chemistry, physics, biology, logic and ethics. In Aristotle's most popular work, "Nichomachean Ethics", he delved into ways to achieve virtue and moral quality. After that Aristotle focused on its importance as friendship and basic virtue in life. In this book, Aristotle explains friendship as good goodwill, mainly as a relationship between two people, love and sharing goodwill between the two. However, the problem of perfect friendship here is at the root of this kindness. There, Aristotle describes three common types of friendship: utility, happiness, friendship, or virtue.

In Nicole's ethics, Aristotle mentioned friendship as a kindness of reciprocity. However, this source of goodwill distinguishes perfect friendship from two imperfectly shaped friendships. True friendship, friends love each other for themselves, they want to have good things with each other. Aristotle said that this type of friendship is only possible between "good people". Because only good people can love others for the benefit of this person. Two imperfect forms of friendship are based on utility or enjoyment. Incomplete friends like profits they get from their relationships: they find happiness, usefulness, or both of them, and their goodwill then arises. For example, my relationship with a golf partner that makes me laugh may be a pleasant friendship. His friendship is practical if he is playing with me as I am a member of a luxury golf club.
