Does it still stand in the contemporary world? According to Aristotle, that the most important factor in the effort to achieve happiness is to have a good moral character and he calls it “complete virtue.” It means that the good life is living a life according to virtues and moral concepts. Having a virtuous life leads to happiness and prosperity that leads to the perfection of human nature and to the enrichment of human life. According to him, having a good life is having happiness or prosperity which can be accomplished by living a life according to virtue which is achieved by continually living in a virtuous manner or living with high moral standards.
