The Reason We Do Anything | Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics Book 1

Aristotle begins the Nicomachean Ethics by discussing means and ends, something everyone is familiar with. After realizing that our ends are usually sought after in pursuit of another end, Aristotle finds happiness to be the exception. Happiness is an end that we do not seek for the sake of something else but rather for itself ultimately. Aristotle then explores what happiness is, discussing virtuous activity and external goods.
