According to Aristotle, "the Good is at which all things aim."

 

But what does that mean? And how does that lead us to understanding what makes a good life?

 

If we think of most actions as means to an end, the Good is the end within and of itself. While learning accounting may be good for a business education, Aristotle would argue that the Good of a true education is education for education's sake. Rejoicing in simplicity, joy, and wholeness of becoming an educated individual. 

​

Further, Aristotle argues that the ultimate Good is Eudaimonia, happiness or flourishing.
