Greek Virtue Ethicists

Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignmentAristotle and the ancient Greek virtue ethicists saw a connection between virtue and happiness.  According to Aristotle, at least, it was impossible for one to attain true happiness–eudaemonia, or a “good life”–without first cultivating moral virtue.  Another way of putting this is to say that evil people cannot be happy in this way.  Interestingly enough, contemporary psychological studies of happiness seem to show that he’s right.  People who do “good” are more likely to live satisfying lives than those who don’t.  But Aristotle is making a stronger claim.  He’s saying that it is a contradiction–a logical impossibility–to have a satisfying life without virtue.  That’s different from saying it’s more difficult to do (which is what psychology tells us).  What do you think?  Is it possible to have a satisfying life–to attain eudaemonia–without being a good (virtuous) person?  Can evil people be fully happy?
