2.2 The Good Life

Aristotle and the Good Life!

A human being is a function of purpose ( telos) that he has, Every human person aspires for an
end the happiness or human flourishing. For example a girl tries or aspires to finish her degree in the
university despite the initial failures she had, she is propelled by a higher purpose to graduate. She even
earns something more maybe to have license and land a promising job in the future.
No individual resist for happiness. Aristotle said that happiness is the be all and end all
everything that we do. We do not realize it but the end goal of what we do is happiness. Despite of the
difficulties and sacrifices that we have, we do this because the grand end is happiness.

ARISTOTLE AND HOW WE ALL ASPIRE FOR A GOOD LIFE

It is interesting to note that the first philosopher who approached the problem of reality from a
scientific lens as we know now, the first to dabble the goal life – happiness.

Compared to his teacher and predecessor, Plato, Aristotle embarked on a different approach in
figuring out reality. Plato thought that everything in this world are not real and are only copies min the
real in the world of forms. Plato said that there are only two realities: The world of forms and the world
of matter. When you try to see yourself in the mirror, you normally say and think that you are looking at
yourself- that is, you are the person who slept last night and you are the same person looking at yourself
now. Despite the occasional changes like a new pimple that grows on you nose.
Two worlds are the world of forms and world of matter. Things are changing and impermanent
in the world of matter. In the world of forms are the only real entities. Entities are only copies of the
ideal and the models. Things are red in this world because they participate in what it means to be red in
the world of forms.
Aristotle however said that human beings are potentialities who aspire for their actuality. Every
action that emanates from a human being is a function of purpose( telos) that he has, Every human
person aspires for an end the happiness or human flourishing. For example a girl tries or aspires to finish
her degree in the university despite the initial failures she had, she is propelled by a higher purpose to
graduate. She even earns something more maybe to have license and land a promising job in the future.
 No individual resist for happiness. Aristotle said that happiness is the be all and end all
everything that we do. We do not realize it but the end goal of what we do is happiness. Despite of the
difficulties and sacrifices that we have, we do this because the grand end is happiness.

 fill-in the box with appropriate letters of a crossword puzzle.
 There are questions and descriptions in every direction.
 One direction is horizontal while the other is vertical. The possible answers are found
inside the box below.

Horizontal:
1. Matter is what makes us attain happiness. According to Democritus, the world is controlled and
made up of tiny indivisible matter including human being, thus, atomos simply comes together
to form the things in the world.
2. Epicurus, led the school of thought that led happiness “apatheia” as the original term which
means “ indifferent”. Stoics espoused the idea that to be happy one must learn to be apathetic.
The moment we realize things that are not within our control the happier we can be.
3. The belief and reality is based on the supernatural heaven and center to the supreme being.
God is waiting to our ultimate return.

Vertical
4. Life is limited, and the hedonists prioritize pleasure. The mantra of this school of thought and
famous “ eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die”. It is led by Epicurus and does not buy
any notion after life.
5. Another school of thought espouses the freedom of man to carve his own destiny without the
control of God. Scientists developed technology to make life easier. This is the Good life.
Scientists are willing to tampered time and space in the name of technology. Smartphones and
internet made this possible.

 2.3 When Technology and Humanity Cross

Robotics and humanity

Another great product of the innovative minds of the people is the robot. Robots are now widely used.
For example, there are so called service robots. These particular robots do specific tasks but focus
mainly in assisting their masters in their everyday tasks. The international Federation of
Robotics (IFR) abd United Nations Economic Commission for Europe(UNECE) made it their task to
formulate a working definition for service robots. A preliminary extract of the relevant definitions is(IFR,
2012):

A service robot is a robot that performs useful tasks for humans or equipment excluding industrial
automation application. Note: a robot may be classified according to its intended application as an
industrial robot or a service robot.

A personal service robot or a service robot for personal use is a service robot used for a noncommercial
tasks, usually by laypersons. Examples are domestic servant robot, automated wheelchair, personal
mobility assist robot, and pet exercising robot.

A professional service robot or a service robot for professional use is a service robot used for
commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator. Examples are cleaning robot for
public places, delivery robot in offices or hospitals, firefighting robot, surgery robot in hospitals and
rehabilitation robot. In this context, an operator is a person designated to start, monitor and stop the
intended operation of a robot or a robot system.

Task 6

3. Follow the formal below in a 1 whole sheet of paper:
Q1: What is a robot?
Answer 1. A robot is a mechanical device designed to perform tasks automatically or
with some degree of autonomy. It can be programmed to carry out specific functions, often to
assist humans in various tasks.
Q2: What is a service robot?
 A service robot is a type of robot that is designed to perform useful tasks for humans or
equipment, excluding industrial automation applications. These robots are intended to assist
individuals in their daily activities or to provide specific services.
Q3: Differentiate personal service robot from a professional service robot
A personal service robot is used for non-commercial tasks and is typically operated by
laypersons. Examples include domestic servant robots, automated wheelchairs, personal
mobility assist robots, and pet exercising robots. On the other hand, a professional service robot
is used for commercial tasks and is operated by trained operators. Examples include cleaning
robots for public places, delivery robots in offices or hospitals, firefighting robots, surgery robots
in hospitals, and rehabilitation robots.
Q4: Give example of personal service robot from a professional service robot
An example of a personal service robot is a domestic servant robot that helps with
household chores such as cleaning and organizing. In contrast, an example of a professional
service robot is a surgery robot used in hospitals to assist surgeons during medical procedures.

Task 7
Essay:
In the movie entitled “terminator : The Dark Fate” movie to enrich the Group Discussion, which
side do you prefer, robots are significant or not necessary in human lives?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lr16IFRHwE

Answer: In the movie "Terminator: Dark Fate," the question of whether robots are
significant or necessary in human lives is a central theme that provokes thoughtful reflection.
On one side of the debate are those who champion the role of robots, citing their potential to
enhance various aspects of human existence. They argue that robots can revolutionize
industries, streamline tasks, and improve quality of life, particularly for individuals with
disabilities or medical conditions. Indeed, the movie depicts advanced robotic technology as a
powerful force capable of carrying out complex missions and safeguarding human lives.

However, there is a contrasting viewpoint that questions the necessity of robots in

human lives and raises concerns about their widespread integration. Opponents highlight the
potential risks associated with automation, such as job displacement and economic inequality.
As depicted in the movie, the advent of highly advanced and autonomous robots also raises
ethical dilemmas regarding their potential to surpass human intelligence and autonomy, posing
existential threats to humanity.

In navigating this complex debate, it is essential to acknowledge the dual nature of

robotics—their potential benefits and inherent risks. While robots have the capacity to enhance
productivity, safety, and quality of life, there is a need to tread cautiously and address the
societal, economic, and ethical implications of their integration. Striking a balance between
harnessing the potential of robotics and mitigating associated risks is paramount.

Ultimately, the movie prompts us to reflect on our relationship with technology and the
role of robots in shaping our future. By critically examining the implications of their presence in
our lives, we can better navigate the path forward and ensure that technology serves the best
interests of humanity.

SELF-EVALUATION:
1. What is the meaning of a good life according to Aristotle? Explain actuality versus potentiality
Aristotle defines a good life as eudaimonia, achieved through the cultivation of virtues
and excellence. Actuality refers to realizing one's inherent nature and capacities, while
potentiality signifies the latent abilities awaiting fulfillment. Living a good life involves
actualizing virtues and potentials, striving for excellence, and evolving towards fulfillment and
flourishing.

2. How world of forms and world of matter differ?

The world of forms, proposed by Plato, consists of perfect and immutable ideals, while
the world of matter, according to Aristotle, refers to the tangible and empirical reality of
physical objects. Plato views the world of forms as the true reality, while Aristotle sees the
material world as primary.
3. What is world of entities?
The term "world of entities" is not a widely recognized philosophical concept, and its
meaning may vary depending on the context in which it is used. In general, it could refer to the
totality of existent beings or entities within a certain philosophical framework or worldview.
This could include everything from physical objects and living organisms to abstract concepts
and ideas. However, without further context or clarification, it is difficult to provide a more
specific explanation of what the "world of entities" entails.

4. What is a service robot?

A service robot is a type of robot designed to perform useful tasks for humans or
equipment, typically excluding industrial automation applications. These robots are
programmed to carry out specific functions to assist individuals in their daily activities or to
provide services in various settings. Examples of service robots include domestic servant robots,
 automated wheelchairs, personal mobility assist robots, cleaning robots for public places,
delivery robots in offices or hospitals, firefighting robots, surgery robots in hospitals, and
rehabilitation robots.
5. How robot becomes significant in the modern times?
In modern times, robots have become significantly important due to their ability to
revolutionize productivity, precision, safety, cost-effectiveness, and innovation across various
industries. By automating tasks, ensuring accuracy, reducing risks, and offering long-term cost
savings, robots have become indispensable tools that shape the future of society.
