The perfect modern-day icon
Aristotle
30 April 2008
This megalithic figurehead of ancient philosophy is undoubted worthy of recognition. His understanding of Ethics is still widely accepted by a modern following of Aristotlean philosphers. His conception of Eudiamonia is eternally relevant especially today when we so frequently equate having it all (virtue, beauty, industry, status, skill, courage) with happiness; being personallymoral good is just not enough. He was also a student of Plato, an accomplishd Scientist, a species categorizing Zoologist and an Aristocrat. Dispite living hundreds of years before Christ, he is still the perfect modern-day icon.
