Aristotle identified good as

  • A.Happiness
  • B.Perfection
  • C.Utility
  • D.Self-respect

Answer: A

Aristotle identified the good as happiness (eudaimonia). In the Nicomachean Ethics he holds that the highest good is the end at which all action aims, and that this is eudaimonia, the activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. Perfection, utility and self-respect are not what he names as the good, since utility is the utilitarians' standard. Happiness here means flourishing through virtuous activity over a complete life and not a passing pleasure.
