For Maimonides, intellect also offers the key to
eudaemonia, or human well-being.
For Aristotle, the end of the ethical life should be personal fulfillment, or
eudaemonia.
In addition, the type of Greek citizenship held up as the Aristotelian ideal embodied notions of personhood as a means to the attainment of
eudaemonia.
Aristotelian
eudaemonia is essentially proper functioning.
Aristotle calls this supreme and self-sufficient good
eudaemonia or happiness.
