Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics explores the nature of happiness and the path to a good life through the practice of virtues. He posits that true happiness is achieved by finding a balance, or “golden mean,” between extremes of behavior. The work distinguishes between moral and intellectual virtues, emphasizing that moral virtues are developed through habit and practical wisdom. Friendship and justice are also significant components of a fulfilling life. Overall, Aristotle argues that living in accordance with reason and cultivating virtues leads to the highest form of human flourishing.
