Aristotelian ethics and proposals to different terms and theories
Aristotle throughout his life proposed different terms and theories that were based on being, based mainly on the origin, cause, reason and purpose that we have as humans for which he shared his ideas and thoughts giving his perspective about whatWe are and how we develop within a society. Something that we apply during the day to day is ethics and morals, which allow us to grow and be part of a state (according to Aristotle the largest association, in its policy).
To refer to Aristotelian ethics and moral. In the first place, morality is the set of laws, norms and values that we must all follow within a population or organization so that there can be an order, in addition to a good social environment that promotes a healthy interaction between people who integrate said population andSecond, ethics is the study of what we know as morality, focusing on what is good and what is bad within human behavior. On the other hand, according to Aristotle, ethics has as an end the eudaimonia (happiness), based on the fact that if an action makes us happy, executing it is the good or what each person needs, and vice versa, leaving aside the right. In addition to this Aristotle refers to 2 possible attitudes that everyone is free to take, the second is to try to build a moral theory in order to determine how happy we could be, as long as we follow the previous theoretical principle which mentions that each being is happy to perform the activity that is its own or in other words by carrying out the activity to thethat is dedicated in his life.
Therefore, one must investigate human nature, since every being has an end and a reason, but in turn the human presents needs that alter and modify their nature;Being for Aristotle, contemplation, the specific activity of human beings implying that if we carry out this activity we would obtain happiness, but being limited and very influenced by the two types of virtues, intellectuals and morals, intellectual virtues are thosethat perfect knowledge (being an important factor within the end of the human being) and the moral virtues are those that perfect character, but move away from knowledge being understood as vices, so we must have a balance of these two to learn whatwhich is correct (middle term) and what is not (default or excess vice).
From this we can interpret that Aristotle relies on teleological ethics to elaborate his term ethics because he gives a purpose to the human being which is eudaimonia, a concept of ethics that I share to some extent, since the Human beings sometimes become slaves of their dreams and goals, which generates frustration and that such frustration leads to failure and in the same way ends a process that I did not lead to happiness, but to lose years of life that will not recover, In addition, I disagree with Aristotle in his reflection that if what we do makes us happy, because it is fine to do it, since we realize the ignorance by the philosopher of what is fair or legal, that is, not He cares about the issue that someone can affect another person to do what makes him happy, knowing that this other person also has something that makes him happy and that there is no correct to snatch happiness from a person for SA Tishize your own. ‘Our minds are designed to enjoy the suffering of others’ (Shaw, 2019). With what we evidences one of the characteristics of human nature in which each person looks at the individual good and not in the collective, being evaded by Aristotle, but that has become something fundamental within each society in ageContemporary.
To conclude, in my opinion, Aristotelian ethics has a good basis such that representing the purpose of the human being, but, taking happiness as this purpose is very contradictory and very generalizing, since each person will be presented with different situations in thelife that could postpone or even eliminate happiness, to which I propose that we should not have as its sole purpose happiness, but also enjoy life, since that if it can end at any time, while happiness is an emotionthat we progressively acquire in our lives from which we require as well as other emotions that forge our way of being throughout an existence that is an end.
