Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for humans to attain happiness, but he happiness for him is something closer to what we might call “flourishing” or “living well”, not just feeling good. Thus, according to Aristotle some people might feel that they are happy, but because they lack the virtues, they are not truly flourishing. However, imagine someone who is deceitful, selfish, greedy, self-indulgent, yet enjoys great pleasure and appears to be quite content. Is someone like this truly happy or not? Explain your answer this by referring to this week’s readings and media, and if possible provide examples from real life and/or from literature, film, TV, etc.
