    Human Flourishing Happiness

    Uploaded by

    RUSSEN JAY REYES
    Human flourishing involves more than just hedonism or the pursuit of pleasure. It refers to living well and achieving excellence as a human being. Aristotle defined eudaimonia as the highest good of human life, which involves developing virtues and using reason to make good choices that contribute to the greater good of one's community. While ancient Greek society focused on friendship, wealth, and power, modern conceptions of human flourishing emphasize individual pursuits and goals in line with Aristotelian philosophy. Both Eastern and Western cultures approach human flourishing differently, with Eastern traditions prioritizing community over the individual and Western views focusing more on individual achievement and autonomy.
