Aristotle's
"Nichomachean Ethics": Friendship And Anger
[ send
me this essay ]
6 pages in length. To Aristotle, friendship, ethics and
happiness are drawn from the same form, inasmuch as ethics
represent the fundamental basis of one's existence; true
friendship can only be derived from ethical behavior; and
happiness is an intrinsic by-product of friendship. What
is happiness if not a state of mind? In order to reach
such a state of mind, one must engage in activity –
either spiritual or social – that elicits this
particular sentiment. Aristotle believed that ethics and
thought were the fundamental basis for happiness, inasmuch
as one cannot truly be happy if one is not cohesive with
the world around him. Aristotle urged people to adhere to
the fourteen axioms acts of his Nichomachean Ethics, which
included gentility, honesty, pride, truthfulness, courage
and self-restraint. This, asserted the philosopher, would
aid in curtailing discord while broadening the trust that
must exist between people in order to cultivate
friendship. As such, one can readily associate the manner
by which Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics illustrates how
friendship serves as an important qualification in
exercising the virtue of controlling one's anger. No
additional sources cited.
