Good cannot be a single and universal general notion; if it were, it would not be predictable in all the categories, but only in one.
the Nicomachean Ethicsby aristotle
No more will there be any difference between ‘the ideal good’ and ‘good’ in so far as both are good.
Happiness, therefore, being found to be something final; and self-sufficient, is the end at which all actions aim.
For ‘activity in conformity with virtue’ involves virtue.
A man may possess the disposition without its producing any good result.
The life of active virtue is essentially pleasant.
The man who does not enjoy doing noble actions is not a good man at all.
In a practical syllogism, the major premise is an opinion, while the minor premise deals with particular things, which are the province of perception. Now when the two premises are combined, just as in theoretic reasoning the mind is compelled to affirm the resulting conclusion, so in the case of practical premises you are forced at once to do it.
conclusion / opinion / perception / reasoning / syllogism
Happiness is at once the best, the noblest, and the pleasantest of things.
Happiness also requires external goods in addition.
