Listen to part of the lecture in a philosophy class. 2 a! n+ V0 Y5 j) _0 r' B
Ok, another ancient Greek [写成ancestor了] philosopher we need to discuss is Aristole[写成Arrors Tatto了], Aristole’s ethical theory, what (is) Aristole’s ethical theory is all about is this: he is trying to show you how to be happy, what true happiness is, now, why is he interested in human’s happiness, it’s not just because something that all people want or aim for, it is more than that, but to get there we need to first make a very important distinction, let me introduce a couple of technical terms, extrinsic value and intrinsic value, to understand Aristotle’s interests in happiness, you need to know this distinction(s), something we aim for [写成need了] and value not for themselves but for what they bring about in addition to themselves, if I value something as a [写成is了] means to something else, then it has what we will call(ed) extrinsic value, other things we desire and hold to be valuable for themselves alone, if we value something not as a [写成is the了] means to something else, but for its own sake{方便} [写成seek了], let us say it has intrinsic value, exercise, there may be some people who value exercise for itself, but I don’t, I value exercise because if I (take) exercise, I tend to stay [写成can stick了] healthier than I would if I didn’t, so I desire to engage an exercise and I value exercise extrinsically{ad.本质地,固有地}, not for its own sake, but as a means something beyond it, it brings me good heath, heath, why do I value good heath? Well, here it gets a little [写成bit了] more complicated for me. Um, heath is important for me because I can’t do other things I want to do, Play(ing) music, teach philosophy, if I’m ill, so heath is important to me, has value to me, as a means to a productive life, but health is also important to me because I just kind of like to be healthy, it feels good, it’s pleasant to be healthy, unpleasant not to be, so to some degree I value heath both for itself and as a means to something else, productivity, it’s got extrinsic and intrinsic value for me, then there is something that are just value for themselves, I’m a musician, not a profession musician (and) I just play a musical instrument for fun, why do I value playing music? Well, like most amateur{n.业余者,爱好者}[写成amator了] musicians, I only play
z6 ~5 _+ G. O(anyway) because, well, I just enjoy it, it is something that’s an end in itself, now, something else I value is teaching, why, well, it brings a modest income, but I could make [写成get了] more money doing other things, I’d do it even if they [写成it了] didn’t pay me, I just enjoy teaching, in that sense it is an end to itself, but teaching is not something that has intrinsic value for all people, and that’s true generally, most things that enjoyed in and [写成the end了] of themselves vary from person to person, some people value teaching intrinsically but others don’t, so how does all this relat(ed) to human(’s) happiness, well, Aristotle asks, is there something all human beings value, and value only intrinsically, for its own sake or only for its own sake? If you could find such a thing, that would be universal final good, or truly the ultimate purpose or goal for all human beings. Aristotle thought the answer was yes. What is it, happiness, everyone will agree, he argues, that " |& ^; y, R+ I' h

happiness is the ultimate [写成automated了] end to be value for itself and really only for it self, for what other purpose is there in being happy, what dose it [写成did they了] yield? The attainment [写成entertainment了] of happiness becomes the ultimate or highest good for Aristotle, the next question that Aristotle raises is, what is happiness, we all want it, we all desire it, we all seek it, it is the goal we have in life, but what is it?# `$ m3 q% w# s# \$ ?

4 {! u) E8 h5 G1 {# qHow do we find it? Here he notes, with some frustrations [写成for some preparation了], people disagree, but he does give us a couple of criteria {标准,尺度}[写成quaterior了], or features, to keep in mind as we look for what true human happiness is, true human happiness should be, as he put it [写成proceed了], complete, complete in that it is all we require, well, true human happiness, if you had that, what else do you need? Nothing. And, second, true happiness should be some thing that I can obtain on my own, I shouldn’t have rely{指望或依赖} [写成relay了] on other people for it, many people value fame{n.名誉,名声} and seek fame, fame for them becomes the goal, but, according to Aristotle, this won’t work either, because fame depends altogether too much on other people for it, I can’t get in on my own, without help from other people, in the end, Aristotle says that true happiness is the exercise of reason, a life of intellectual [写成internature了] contemplation, of thinking, so let us see how we comes to that.2 k5 h x5 {" Z% m9 W: j$ r
