The topic of happiness has been discussed by many thinkers since ancient times. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle elaborated his view of happiness in terms of its connotation and manifestation, and the way it is achieved. Happiness is first of all a realistic activity in accordance with virtue, which can be obtained by people and embodied in their daily life. Happiness is not only personal happiness, but also the highest and broadest “supreme good”, which requires the joint efforts of the whole city-state. His profound philosophical exposition provides us with profound theoretical guidance for the development of happiness education today.
