Analysing The Concept Of Eudaimonia

ARISTOTLE'S EUDAIMONIA: A CONCEPT ECHOING IDEAS OF THE SAGE MANU

Abstract

Wherever one looks at any portrait of Shri Krishna – one common thing that one can find is his smiling face. His smiling face always gives his devotees a lesson to remain complacent and happy. However, the question is that how one can achieve happiness. According to Aristotle, happiness (Eudaimonia) is one of the crucial goals of human life. Thus, in regards to the same, he defines Eudaimonia and the ways to achieve it. Thus, this paper is an endeavour to elucidate the concept of Eudaimonia (which further got divided into two parts – Individual Eudaimonia and Political Eudaimonia) propounded by Aristotle.
