【15】Aristotle and Greek Science

VII. Ethics and the Nature of Happiness

人能思考的能力是获得幸福的源泉和方法

很多时候思考很痛苦,但这就等同于inertia,要去克服它

佳句:

how shall we find happiness and fulfillment?

the aim of life is not goodness for its own sake, but happiness.
亚里士多德把自己开心把幸福拆分开来,自己开心并不意味着是幸福的状态,他认为happiness是个form

save many detours and delays

So between cowardice and rashness is courage; between stinginess and extravagance is liberality; between sloth and greed is ambition; between humility and pride is modesty; between secrecy and loquacity , honesty; between moroseness and buffoonery, good humor; between quarrelsomeness and flattery, friendship; between Hamlet's indecisiveness and Quixote's impulsiveness is self-control.
