Describe Aristotle’s conception of eudemonia (“happiness”). Next, describe Aristotle’s conceptions of the human function, the rational part of the soul, habituation, character, and virtue. Explain the role each of these conceptions plays in the achievement of eudemonia according to Aristotle. Support your descriptions and explanations by citing the text.
