Aristotle's Function Argument

In Nicomachean Ethics of Ethics 7, Aristotle insists that human functions must be decided in order to discover the interests of mankind. He thinks human function is a reasonable activity. Therefore, our advantage is that reasonable activities will work, and Aristotle believes that this means virtue. This argument has been criticized in almost every respect. This chapter defends Aristotle's argument from these criticisms. It means using Aristotle 's form and material description in metaphysics,' function 'does not mean purpose but how to work - how things fulfill its role. The way humans do things is to make a reasonable choice. Human beauty and happiness is not only the result of rational choice but also among it. Rational actions and activities are the concept of expressing what the agent is worth to the agent.

"Eudaimonia" is an Aristotle style style term which is converted roughly (and not appropriately) to happiness. To understand its role in virtue ethics, we are looking forward to Aristotle's functional discussion. Aristotle is aware that action is meaningless as it has goals. Every action has several advantages. For example, a baby vaccination by a doctor is designed to protect the health of the baby, and British tennis player Tim Henman works for his serving so he can win the Wimbledon. In addition, some things are done for their own purposes (by themselves) and some things are done for other purposes (meaning other purposes). Aristotle finally claims that everything contributes to wider goals. That is the greatest benefit for all. This is eudaimonia. Udaimonia is happiness, satisfaction, satisfaction, it is the name of the best life, itself is the purpose, the way of life and the life.

Aristotle's "function" theory is defined in his book "Nemogan Ethics". The purpose of this book is to discover the beauty of mankind, to regard it as happiness, and to aim for our life. Aristotle tells us that everyone refers to this "eudaimonia" (happiness), but people do not agree with what it contains (1.4 1095b). 6, Aristotle suggests that we can obtain a clearer concept of happiness (1.7 1097b) if we first decide the "human" (function) of a person. The explanation of this series of explorations is that "good and" well "is considered to work for everything with functions and activities" (1.6 1097b). He introduced an example of a flute player. This book is used to explain that he said what he said is the purpose of the activity. In order for a person to become a flute player, it is necessary to know how to play the flute. Likewise, in order for people to be happy, happiness must exist within themselves.
