If some purpose of our activities is regarded as an end in itself, we aim at other things for it; At the same time, if we don't choose that everything is for something else (which will obviously fall into infinity, then the desire for purpose will become empty), then there is obviously goodness or the highest goodness.
Politics is the object of this highest good.
Second, the nature of politics.
If our discussion of political science reaches the degree of certainty that its subject matter can accommodate, that is enough.
Political science studies noble and just behavior. These behaviors contain many differences and uncertainties.
Asking a mathematician to make a general statement is as unreasonable as asking a rhetorician to make a strict proof.
A person can make a correct judgment about what he is familiar with. Therefore, young people are not suitable for listening to political science, because they lack experience in life behavior (human behavior is the premise and theme of political science), and their lives and desires are dominated by emotions. But for the person whose summation behavior conforms to rationality (an application of rational function), the knowledge of these subjects will be of great help to him.
3, 4 Happiness is the highest good.
Everyone thinks that the purpose of politics and the kind of goodness that practice can achieve is happiness.
What is happiness? People who love wisdom believe that happiness is not visible happiness, wealth or honor, but goodness itself, which is the reason for making these things better.
Should correct reasoning start from the starting point or go to the starting point? We (Aristotle is different from Plato) should of course start from what we already know. A person who wants to study political science must be a person with good moral character, because a person's feeling about the essence of a thing is itself a starting point.
Four, five or three kinds of life
Happiness is the life of animals.
Meditate and check later.
As the purpose of political life, honor is not what we call happiness. Honor is too superficial for the good we pursue, because it depends on the giver of the wise. Even the purpose of virtue is not perfect, because some people can have virtue, but never use it.
V.6 Plato's concept of goodness
Aristotle believes that goodness should not be a universal and separate formal concept put forward by Plato school. Because, first, since goodness can describe both entities and relationships, it can't be said to be a type. Second, goodness has many meanings similar to "yes", so it can't be a separate universal concept, otherwise it can't describe all categories. Third, everything of the same type must be the research object of the same science, so there should be a science to study all good things, but this is not the case, but
The types of goodness are not even suitable for talking about things that are good in themselves, because they are good in different ways.
A good thing is considered good, not because it belongs to a good form.
The form of goodness is something that people can't practice and get.
The concept of intransitive verb 7 human kindness
Honor, happiness, Yunus and every virtue, although we choose them for themselves, we also choose them for happiness. We call those things that are always desirable for ourselves and not for others the most perfect. Perfect goodness should be self-sufficient, that is, a thing itself makes life worth wanting and lacking.
Man's goodness refers to the realization of soul virtue. If there is more than one virtue, it is the realization of the best and perfect virtue. However, add "in life".
We must understand different topics in a way that conforms to their essence. For each starting point, we should define it correctly, because they are very important for future research. The starting point is half the research. For example: scientific induction, aesthetic feeling and ethical habits.
