Question:Discuss Aristotle’s function argument.

following the requirement and read the documents, I provided the example how to write this short-paper and what I did my draft 1, but my own is not good. So I need you help me write a new one. My professor comment my essay:" There are several significant issues with this paper. There isn't a dedicated presentation of the function argument. What are the claims/premises, and how do they lead to the conclusion? Some of the general ideas appear in this paper, but we need a careful step-by-step reconstruction of the argument. The paper does not technically complete the assignment because it is lacking in a presentation an objection to the function argument. As such, the paper cannot receive a passing grade. There are also serious issues with the writing, so we should discuss whether this course is the right fit for you.”

Ziyi Yan 02/09/2017 Short Paper Aristotle's Function Argument In this paper I will examine Aristotle’s function argument that resolves what involves an explanation of “eudaimonia” (happiness, flourishing, well being, etc.) consist in. The argument explains how achieve people get a “good” life by the functional argument. I will first present the function argument clearly and then explain the reasons constitutes the argument and what this function argument means to “eudaimonia” . involves the claim that al The function argument describes all the nature things have a functional nature in virtue of which kinds of things they are. It can be explained that clothes can be determined as clothes worn because they can be weared by people, restaurants can be determined as restaurant because they offer foods for guests, etc. Then the argument expounds further that the way to define what is a “good” thing is to see whether it does its functional nature well or not (“good” clothes means that people feel the clothes’ functional nature is well, “good” restaurant means that guests feel the foods that restaurant offers are delicious). As the functional argument means above, all nature things have a functional nature. However, how to define the functional nature if we cannot distinguish the different between things? Dresses and pants’ functional nature are both “clothes”, so define their differences and unique features is important because we can determine they are “good” or not when we know their characteristics. Dresses are often for females to wear. Dresses can be “good” if they are beautiful. Pants are suits for both females and males. Pants can be “good” if they are comfortable or suitable for people to wear. Therefore, if we can make sure the nature things’ characteristics, we can determine their functional natures are good or not, so we can know the nature things are “good” or not. To consider about human, human’s functional nature is rationality and virtue because our distinguish humanity are know from other things functions. Therefore, “good” human means they can develop their functional nature well as the virtuous disposition (“good” states of character, like honesty and courage about how treat others) and virtuous thoughts (like skills and plans about how to do things efficiently) can be trained to acquire theoretical wisdom. Theoretical wisdom is combined by the scientific knowledge (education ways that can teach a person the good habit and moral excellence) and intuitive understanding (nature talents). Through this argument, we can see “good” things can be defined by their distinguish functional nature. So “good” human how to make a good life? Human doing “good” things is the desirable for the sake of pleasure, honor, health and wealth. However, pleasure, honor, health and wealth are not what Aristotle means the “eudaimonia” because these four characteristics are still the things that people desire for the sake of a good life (people want to be healthy because it promotes a good life, but it is not simply means a good life). Therefore, the way that “good” human can achieve a good life is to combine the rationality and virtue well because exercising virtuous character and virtuous thoughts completely is the “end” and “good” of the desire for the sake of good life. 518 words

Running Head: Aristoles Function Argument

Eudaimonia is a human good that everyone needs to have in life and action. It entails happiness,
flourishing and well-being, but many people often don’t agree about what it entails. Aristole
argues that a clearer view of happiness can be arrived at by first ascertaining the ergo of an
individual. The argument involves an explanation of how people achieve good life. He justifies
that good resides in the function for all things that have a function. The function argument
involves the claim that all things entail a nature that is functional in regards to their kind. It can
be explained that clothes can be referred to as clothes because they can be worn by people,
restaurants can be determined as restaurant be...
