How does aristotles purpose of human life compare

Reference no: EM133595345

Part I: How does Aristotle's purpose of human life compare with that of Buddhism?

Part II: Aristotle held that while humans are animals, the human soul is so different that humans must be defined separately than other living things (plants and animals). Aristotle specifically noted that thought and intellect separates humans from other living things. Obviously, science has since provided us much more insight into the intricacies of life since Aristotle, in regards to both plants and animals. Consider the capability of language that has been explored in some species (gorillas, dolphins). (We clearly are not research scientists; please use your general awareness of scientific advances over the last 2400 years.) Discuss Aristotle's theory in regards to general modern knowledge of plants and animals. Does his theory still hold?

Part III: Reflect for a bit, and then share how Aristotle's viewpoint aligns with your own concept of happiness and/or fulfillment.
