Aristotle argues that ethics is rooted in the desire of persons to achieve happiness in the form of self-sufficiency. Does this understanding of ethics run into the problem of egoism as examined in the previous unit? Here is something to consider: Aristotle say only beasts and gods are fully self-sufficient beings. Humans are social creatures who strive together to achieve self-sufficiency, which sound paradoxical. Aristotle believes some persons are better suited to achieve this form of happiness. Would you call this approach to ethics egoist? Explain.
