Eudemonism
The eudemonism (of the Greek " eudaimonia" who means " bonheur") is doctrines posing as principle which happiness is the goal of the human life. Happiness is not perceived as not opposed to the reason, it is the natural purpose.
The eudemonism is a philosophical position that all old philosophies supported, even if they developed very different doctrines, not having the same design of happiness.
happiness, eudaimonia is a principle; it is to reach it that we achieve all the other acts; it is well the genius our Motivation s.
Being opposed to morals which estimate that the man must seek other values that happiness (the truth, justice, holiness…), the eudemonism qualifies the ethical doctrines which make happiness the supreme value and the ultimate criterion of choice of the human actions: Aristote, Epicure, Montaigne, Spinoza, Diderot… The eudemonism is based on a general confidence in the man who remains the irreplaceable key of humanism. The doctrines concentrate on this only chance of blooming which constitutes the terrestrial life and it is consequently with the success of this life, with the happiness immediate or rationalized over a long time, as well with his as with that of others, as it logically devotes the essence of its effort.
Among most known, the aristotelism is an intellectualist eudemonism which places happiness in satisfaction related to the contemplation of the truth by the spirit. The epicureanism is a eudemonism hedonist which places happiness in the significant pleasure of the body but it also rests on the practice of philosophy, only means of releasing the heart of his torments and to reach serenity and the friendship. The spinozism is a eudemonism which places happiness in the joy of including/understanding nature, the self-love and of the world and the power of the reason which makes it possible to live free passions.
