Self-satisfied goodness

While reading Aristotle’s Nichomachean  Ethics, I found myself focusing on goodness in general and how an essay with such an abstract concept of goodness kept providing more outlets for argument, analysis, theory, and criticism in terms of discovering what goodness is.  I contemplate that Aristotle believed there to be many branches of goodness, all dealing with different, everyday conceptual theory.  Goodness affects all concepts individually and differently, Aristotle is continually approaching views from both sides to question and then prove theories of goodness.  I viewed Aristotle’s text almost as an instruction manual on how to identify goodness, and use it advantageously in relationship various concepts of life, such as; happiness, character, moral virtue, goodness (in and of itself) and politics. “All things that come under a single Idea must be objects of a single science” (19).  Aristotle ends with "things appear good to different people" suggesting that not only is goodness interpreted differently within each concept, that within each concept is a person contemplating, which contemplations vary from person to person creating a sense that the essay ends with a sense of depth beyond the prior discoveries.
