2. The science of the good for man is politics.            
Nature of the science               p. 2

What is the good for man?             p. 4
4. It is generally agreed to be happiness, but there are various views as to       
what happiness is. What is required at the start is an unreasoned conviction

5. Discussion of the popular views that the good is pleasure, honour, wealth;    
a fourth kind of life, that of contemplation, deferred for future discussion.      
6. Discussion of the phikisiohical view that there is an Idea of good.      
7. The good must be something final and self-sufficient. Definition of      
happiness reached by considering the characteristic function of man.      
8. Our definition is confirmed by current beliefs about happiness.

chance?

Moral virtue, how produced, in what medium and in what manner exhibited    p. 28

2. These acts cannot be prescribed exactly, but must avoid excess and      
defect.                    
3. Pleasure in doing virtuous acts is a sign that the virtuous disposition has      
been acquired: a variety of considerations show the essential connexion of      
moral virtue with pleasure and pain.              
4. The actions that produce moral virtue are not good in the same sense as      
those that flow from it: the latter must fulfil certain conditions not necessary    
in the case of the arts.                
Definition of moral virtue               p. 35

our own power.
