Happiness is a quality of the soul…not a function of one’s material circumstances

— Aristotle

I wrote on particulars, universals, and alternating between the two https://www.bryankam.com/p/from-will-to-representation-and-back?r=447n8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false #Aristotle #Schopenhauer #philosophy #logic @philosophy

Did #Heraclitus say that you can't step into the same river twice? The answer may shock you!

A good man may make the best even of poverty and disease, and the other ills of life; but he can only attain happiness under the opposite conditions.

In a democracy the poor have more power than the rich, because there are more of them and the will of the majority is supreme. ~ #Aristotle #quotes #democracy. Hmm, how's this working out 2 millennia on?

Did you know that the quote:

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

... was NOT uttered by #Aristotle?

This quote is a summary of Aristotle by Will Durant in his work 'The #History of #Philosophy' (1926).

What Aristotle actually said was:

"These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions; but no one, if he should leave them undone, would be even in the way to become a good man."

The quote is, therefore, about being virtuous, not diligent.

For example, justice is considered to mean equality, It does mean equality- but equality for those who are equal, and not for all.

Cartoon, Peter Brookes. Aristotle contemplating a bust of Homer (after Rembrandt)

Happiness is a certain activity of soul in conformity with perfect goodness.

Why Oligarchy Falls (And How to Speed It Up)

#Aristotle used the term #oligarchy to describe governance by a small, often wealthy or noble group, distinguishing it from #aristocracy, which he viewed as a more virtuous form of rule.

Now I remember why I preferred the opinions of #Plato.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

Most #Americans fixate on #political personalities, and don't think enough about the #failings of the #system. Calling it a #democracy is far too much of a stretch.
Yes, yes - a #representative #republic, but it isn't really that either.
Read #Aristotle.
