Instructions : Compare and contrast each pair of term related to Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics a
discussed in the section

1. Instrumental Good – Ultimate Good


- Eudaimonia: It is said that the ultimate good is something that is similar to enjoyment.
Pleasure in eating or pleasure in the things we desire are both examples of pleasure.
Otherwise, the instrumental good is something that simply makes our job load easier to do
while also requiring less time and effort on our part. To summarize, these two major
subjects, instrumental good and ultimate good, are both quite valuable in our daily lives,
and they will both benefit us as long as we understand how to use them in the proper
manner.

2. Please – Happiness
- Eudaimonia or Happiness is unique to humans for it is a uniquely human function. Aristotle
said Happiness in order to be truly happy, one must be able to acquire all the commodities
that contribute to the perfection of human nature and richness of human existence during
one's entire life. We'll have to make some tough decisions as a result of this. However
Please of Pleasure unhindered action is accompanied by delight by nature. Pleasure in and
of itself is neither good nor bad; rather, it is beneficial because the experience of pleasure
enhances the quality of the activity being performed. To summarize these to major subject
we cannot do these two subject because we won't be happy if we grow bored with our
pleasure and we won't do pleasure if we aren't happy, it is impossible for us to have a
balanced relationship with the other person.

3. Virtue – Vice
- As a virtue, Aristotle sees moral virtue as a balance between the extremes of insufficiency
and excess, which he labels as vices. However in philosophy, vice was primarily
characterized as a lack of virtue, habitual good behavior that avoids excessive or deficient
behavior, which are both unethical. To summarize as a human being we need to learn how
this virtue and vice our going apply in our life for us to be better and good people in our day
to day life.

4. Intellectual Virtue – Moral Virtue


- Intellectual Virtue is a virtue that we achieved in our education in our experience we gain
knowledge from it. Otherwise the Moral Virtue is a virtue that we achieve in generosity,
temperance and courage. To summarize this to subject it is very important in our life for us
to have a habitual good behavior that avoids excessive or deficient behavior, which are both
unethical.

5. Science and Technology – The Good Life


- The good life is a state of life of being happy, healthy and prosperous in the way on things,
lives, and acts. A significant influence on the quality of human existence is exerted by
science and the inventions that result from its investigations. And it is this desire for a better
existence that drives people throughout the world to pursue scientific advancement. To
summarize the progress of all economic sectors is made possible by technological
advancements, which in turn contribute to a better quality of life. Technology's because it
makes it possible for us to accomplish our goals more quickly and easily.
