PHIL 1100 COMPLETE LATEST ACTUAL
ARISTOTLE BASED SET WITH
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Explain Aristotle's argument that the highest good is "happiness" or "eudaimonia". (NE
1094a1-22) Why is this the subject of ethics? - correct answer-✅1. The good is found in exercising our
function well
2. functions are defined by the characteristic activity of a good, indeed excellent, thing of that kind.
3. A good thing's function is to perform its characteristic activity well (virtuously)
4. So if we have a s function, then our good is found in exercising it well.
*ethics is the study of why we do things and the highest good is the sake for which we do anything at all,
therefore the highest good is the subject of ethics.
Aristotle appears to argue fallaciously that since every action aims at some good, there is
some good that every action aims at. (NE 10941-3) Explain the fallacy. Could he be
interpreted in a way that avoids the fallacy? - correct answer-✅If we use the word goal, instead of
"action," a fallacy is revealed. This is so because not every goal is aiming at some good.
Everybody watches a TV, but there's not a TV everybody watches.
Why is a young person not suited to the study of ethics? (NE 1095a2-11) - correct answer-✅Because he
lacks experience in the actions of life, which are the subject and premises of our arguments. Since he
tends to follow his feelings, his study will be futile and useless, for the end is action not knowledge.
Why does eudaimonia or happiness not consist simply of pleasure, honor or wealth?
1095b14 1096a10) - correct answer-✅It requires external goods, which is not up to you entirely. Can't
be happy, you don't have wealth, friends and political power, good birth, good children, and beauty.
1. life of gratification- life for grazing animals.
2. life of political activity-depends more on those who honor than on the one honored.
3. life of virtue- one can be virtuous when asleep or lucky.
Virtue is superior to pleasure, honor, and wealth.
The chief or ultimate good for Aristotle must be "final" or the "end of action", it must be
"self-sufficient", it must be "complete", and must reside in the "ergon" (characteristic
activity or function) of man. (NE 1097a15-1098a20) What does he mean by these things,
and what are his arguments? - correct answer-✅Aristotle believes that the ultimate good should be
final, self sufficient, and complete, and must reside in ergon (activity). He then says that therefore the
highest good is happiness which is all of these.
What is the ergon (characteristic activity or function) of human beings? (NE 1098a1-16)
How is the sense in which human beings have an ergon different from the sense in which
a heart, key or shoe has an ergon? - correct answer-✅The ergon of human beings is to do well and
function well as human beings with the activity of the soul in accordance to reason. Doing what you are
supposed to be doing well is a virtue. *if a thing has a function, then doing it well makes it a good one.*
ARGUMENT BY ELIMINATION
1.Nutrition & growth shared w/ plants
2.Feeling & perception shared w/ animals
3.That leaves the exercise of reason.
Why is eudaimonia an activity and not a state? - correct answer-✅"Happiness" is a verb. It needs to be
continuously sought and it cannot just be a permanent state. If our function is to reason, then happiness
s found in being able to exercise reason well.
Why is the good life pleasant? Do you agree that "someone who does not enjoy fine
