Yet as we shall see, Aristotle was convinced that a genuinely happy life required the fulfillment of a broad range of conditions, including physical as well as mental well-being.
That is, happiness depends on the cultivation of virtue, though his virtues are somewhat more individualistic than the essentially social virtues of the Confucians. Living during the same period as Mencius, but on the other side of the world, he draws some similar conclusions. As a result, he devotes more space to the topic of happiness than any thinker prior to the modern era. “ Happiness depends on ourselves.” More than anybody else, Aristotle enshrines happiness as a central purpose of human life and a goal in itself.
