Explore "Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristóteles on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wish, we have already said, is for the end: but whereas some hold that the object of wish is the good others hold that it is what seems good.
Those who maintain that the object of wish [53] is the good have to admit that what those wish for who choose wrongly is not object of wish (for if so it would be good; but it may so happen that it was bad); on the other hand, those who maintain that the object of wish is what seems good have to admit that there is nothing which is naturally object of wish, but that each wishes for what seems good to him -- different and even contrary things seeming good to different people.
