Resumo: |
The purpose of this work is to understand the meaning of mean and its importance to acquire happiness, from the viewpoint of Aristotle, in his book Nicomachean Ethics. Therefore, the meaning of areté, resulting from the Greek ideal of education and equivalent to moral excellence, will be analyzed, as well as the meaning of ethics and its relationship to virtue. Happiness, eudaimonia or the highest good, will also be analyzed in the face of its close kinship to virtue, a moral quality that leads to man s doing things well. Next, mean and its opposites will be studied, which involves excessive and deficient actions and emotions. A study will be carried out on what mean constitutes, which in reality represents the apex, that is, the beautiful and fair conduct of the virtuous man. Afterwards, it will be necessary to understand the meaning of practical wisdom, prudence or phronesis, because it will guide actions and emotions in relation to doing things well. Lastly, final comments will be made, which will help us understand the importance of acting with the intention of being good, fair and virtuous for the transformation and improvement of man and society |
