Abstract

The relationship between moral life on the one hand, and Pleasure and Pain on the other, is one of the most important philosophical questions. Does a moral person necessarily enjoy more in his/her life or moral practice? The relation between moral states and Pleasures is complex in Aristotle's philosophy. According to our understanding of him, a moral life is not necessarily enjoyable; but this does not mean that there is not any relationship between morality and Pleasure and Pain. For Aristotle, moral states are in the realm of Pleasure and Pain, and Pleasure is the result of moral action; that is, the goodness of an action is not because of its Pleasure, but an action is pleasurable because of its goodness. This means that even the person who does bad actions and avoids moral actions does so for the sake of Pleasure and avoiding of Pain. Yet the virtuous man enjoys his moral action; therefore, enjoying the moral act is a sign of the character of the virtuous man. This view of Aristotle has had important implications in educating our emotions from the beginning of childhood, and it can be said that the basis of ethical knowledge is based on the interference in Pleasure and Pain in human life. This view of Aristotle has had important consequences for guiding emotions since childhood. In his view, guiding and controlling Pleasure and Pain is important and gives strength to a moral character and a moral life combined with Pleasure.
