This episode explores Aristotle's philosophy, contrasting it with his predecessors, Socrates and Plato, with a focus on ethics and happiness. The discussion examines Aristotle's rejection of Plato's theory of forms, his emphasis on specific examples over abstract ideals, and his concept of eudaimonia—or flourishing—as life's ultimate goal. We also address contemporary questions: how technology and social media impact happiness, and the role of material goods in well-being.
