The essay begins with an outline of Aristotle’s views on ethics as given in his most well-known work, the Nichomachean Ethics, which deals with moral issues as they pertain to individuals in the context of society, and raises the questions: “What is happiness?” and “What is the prescription for a happy life?” The main body of the essay examines the role of practical wisdom in guiding the intellectual move from the general to the particular as well as its relevance to the diversity-sensitive modern world in which we live.
