Human Nature and Eudaimonia in Aristotle

In his -Nicomachean Ethics-, Aristotle says that "eudaimonia" (-happiness-) is the end of human nature. In the Greek thinker's moral theory and theory of human nature, that good has a definite content, and is a universal and even obligatory moral good -- the -true good- of man. Dr. Asselin argues that the connection that Aristotle sees between human nature and "eudaimonia" illuminates both human nature and the supreme moral good. To the same extent, Aristotle is a perennial source for theorizing about human nature, human moral qualities, and the best life for man."
