[10]
It might be held that all men seek to obtain pleasure, because all men desire life. Life
is a form of activity, and each man exercises his activity upon those objects and with
those faculties which he likes the most: for example, the musician exercises his sense of
hearing upon musical tunes, the student his intellect upon problems of philosophy, and so
on. And the pleasure of these activities perfects the activities, and therefore perfects
life, which all men seek.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
