ABSTRACT
In Book I of the Ethics, Aristotle sketches out his approach to eudaimonia, and the basis on which he thinks his view rests; and in Book X he offers a more detailed account. It is this more detailed account that can seem either quite bizarre, or slightly strange, or reasonably obvious, depending on how one settles a few key issues of interpretation. In this chapter, then, we shall try to establish at least the main outlines of his view, and to assess the adequacy of the reasons he offers in support of it.
