Episode description

Episode 002. Aristotle argues that man's ultimate purpose must be final and sufficient, that is everything is done for its sake and it is done for the sake of nothing further, and that once obtained nothing further is needed. Happiness fits this description. But what is happiness? Aristotle dismisses sensory pleasure and honor and wealth as happiness. I suggest that if happiness is our final end, because the end determines the mean, that is one wants to make a profound change to their life they change their understanding of happiness.
