In book X, chapter VI, Aristotle argues that happiness is not amusement, but good activity. In making his case, he claims that “To exert oneself for the sake of amusement seems silly and utterly childish,” whereas “to amuse oneself in order that one may exert oneself” seems right (p. 194). Which of these two conceptions of happiness (happiness as an activity in accordance with virtue vs. happiness as amusement) seems closer to the dominant conception of happiness in our time? What impact does it have on our approach to teaching or learning if we adopt one rather than the other?
