ইউডমনয ও মনবজবন: অযরসটটলর দষটত পরম সখর সনধন

This article explores Aristotle's philosophical framework for achieving a happy life, emphasizing the intrinsic link between ethics and human good.Aristotle identified Eudaimonia (happiness or flourishing) as the ultimate end for man and highest good of human existence.He argues that happiness is not found in transient pleasures, material wealth, or social status, but is instead an activity of the soul performed in accordance with rational principles.The discussion highlights the distinction between rational and irrational faculties, focusing on the role of practical wisdom (phronêsis) in guiding individuals toward appropriate actions in specific situations.Central to this ethical vision is the concept of Virtue (arête), defined as excellence in character.Aristotle asserts that virtue is not an innate capacity but is acquired through deliberate practice and the cultivation of habits.By applying reason to find the "Golden Mean" between extremes, a virtuous person can make correct moral judgments.Ultimately, the article concludes that a truly happy life is realized through the continuous practice of virtue and the exercise of intellectual excellence.
