Vision of men according to Aristotle: Virtue

Is it possible earthy happiness?

According to Aristotle, “earthy happiness can be reach via reason and the acquisition of virtue. He states that human achievements are animated by a purpose, and that human beings have a natural desire to instantiate their ideals through action”. So, people should be pride in being excellent at what they do. Let us stop here. We don’t take “reason” by now, but “virtue”. What does it mean at least?  Following Aristotle, virtue are “good actions” which were repeated day by day. In this way, human beings become perfect through “virtue practice”. To Aristotle, virtues are habits. Many years later, phenomenologists like Dietrich von Hildebrand would say another thing: virtue is not a simple replay of good actions. Affectivity (the emotional response) has an essential role in human beings’ moral life.
