In Aristotle approach, good character should manifest itself in BEHAVIOR and three CONDITIONS must be present before a certain behavior can be called a UNCHANGEABLE 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 GOOD character”.
An honest act is virtuous only if one does it because one is CAPATIBILIES.
Happiness is not PLEASURE because we have got rational ACTIVITY, it's a sort of PLEASURE driven by REASONING soul. All men, by nature desire TO KNOW , all human ACTIONS have one or more of these causes: CHANGE, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion and desire.
