    Now, however, let us return to the investigated good [agathon], and show what it is. For it appears that there is a different good in a different action [praxis] and art [techne]; since there is one good in the medical art, another in the art of commanding an army, and in a similar manner in…

    Every art [techne] and every method, and in like manner every action [praxis] and deliberate choice [proairesis], appear to aspire after a certain good [agathon]. Hence, it is well said, that the good is that which all things desire. Of ends [telos], however, there appears to be a certain difference; for some of them are…

    Felicity [eudaimonia], therefore, must be considered by us, not only from the conclusion, and the particulars from which its definition consists, but also from the assertions of others concerning it.
