Man looking for happiness.
I´ve been reading Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle and I want to share with you some concepts that I has have been thinking about.
Aristotle thinks that human being nature the nature of a human being is to be a rational and political animal. (You could also write: nature of a human being is that of a rational and political animal.) The explanation it´s is actually quite easy: we difference from animals because of we our amazing ability of rational thinking. (Probably better to write: amazing ability to think rationally / amazing capacity for rational thought.) On the other side hand, we are political because we have to live in society in order to survive.
Ethics is the science which that studies how humans should live and behave. The beginning is to To begin, one must first find out which are the moral values that man have has to archive achieve in order to improve. There is no doubt that some “goods” are better than others. For example, if you want to success succeed in a school´s examination an exam at school, it would be better for you to study rather than go out with your friends. In despite spite of this, I think that we all can agree that to go out with your friends is not something bad. (Or: that going out with your friends...) Having all of these this in mind, we can think conclude that there must be a superior good which every man must to search for. Again, Aristotle thinks that this good must be the happiness. He strongly believes that it must be our life goal and that we certainly could archive achieve it thought through the development of virtue.
This is only a really short introduction of to Aristotle´s ethics. I hope you have enjoyed it.
(I read some Aristotle as a university philosophy student and it was pretty tough for me! Good job on your English and keep it up.)
