In
Aristotle approach, good character should manifest itself in behavior
and three conditions must be present before a certain
behavior can be called a good act:
- First, we must understand what we are doing and why it is good
- Second, what we do, must be freely chosen
- Finally, the “action must preceed from a firm and unchangeable character.
An
honest act is virtuous only if one does it because one is honest.
Happiness
is not pleasure because we have got rational capabilities,
it's a sort of activity driven by reasoning soul. All
men, by nature, desire to know, all human actions have
one or more of these causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit,
reason, passion and desire.
