Aristotle’s View of Happiness and Its Significance to Contemporary College Students
Abstract
Aristotle’s concept of happiness has had a profound influence on later generations. The emergence of happiness view is influenced by the background of The Times and the theories of different people. Aristotle’s concept of happiness basically includes that happiness is the highest good, speculation is the highest happiness and happiness is the realistic activity of the virtuous soul. Although Aristotle’s concept of happiness originated in ancient Greece, it is still of positive significance to contemporary college students. His happiness view not only points out the direction for contemporary college students to pursue happiness, but also provides reference for their future planning and guides them to link their personal happiness with national happiness.References
