Abstract

"Aristotle, the man with a Grecian plan"

Aristotle along with many of the other ancient Grecian philosophers are considered to have given birth to rational thought and its integration into philosophy, so it is no surprise that Aristotle's work on moral philosophy would focus on reason. Essentially, his moral theory emphasizes the excellent use of the rational soul over a long life. There is a lot more to it than just thinking rationally and living long though. He starts off by seeking to determine what the highest good is. Since the highest good should be the goal of a life he seeks to first find the highest good and then from there place that highest good at the base of his moral theory.
