And I imagine the percentage would be even lower were it not for philosophers reading Aristotle more often than the general public. "Other" at nearly a third suggests a fourth possible branch. | |

Updating the title (again)
|
| Jun 28, 2011 at 0:27 | comment | added | smartcaveman | @jonericson, I think the title is actually worse now, because it obfuscates the question. Although the word "happiness" is the closest English word to the Greek "eudaimonia", they are not equivalent. Eudaimonia refers to a concept that is very distinct from what is generally intended by the word "happiness". The term "happiness" is really not a sufficient substitute in the context of philosophical discussion. | |

Clarifying the question

Removed greek from title, is just confusing.

| Jun 28, 2011 at 0:04 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | @smartcaveman and @Joseph: I got sick of people answering another question based on the concept of eudaimonia with trivial responses that sort of missed the point. I decided to weed out people pointing out that either virtue defines happiness or the other way around by making the title a bit impenetrable. It was an experiment. | |
