Transcript text: According to Aristotle, we choose honor and understanding and every other virtue for themselves, but also for the sake of happiness.
True
False
Solution
Answer
The answer is True.
Explanation
Aristotle's philosophy, particularly in his work "Nicomachean Ethics," suggests that virtues such as honor, understanding, and others are chosen both for their own sake and for the sake of achieving happiness (eudaimonia). According to Aristotle, happiness is the highest good and the ultimate end that humans strive for. Virtues are integral to achieving this state of happiness, as they help individuals live in accordance with reason and fulfill their potential. Therefore, while virtues are valuable in themselves, they also contribute to the overall goal of attaining happiness.
