Grzesiak Emilia, Eudajmonizm w dobie pokolenia Z. Rozważania aksjologiczne [Eudaimonism in the Era of Generation Z. Axiological Considerations]. Studia Edukacyjne nr 56, 2020, Poznań 2020, pp. 267-296. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 1233-6688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2020.56.15 This article deals with the category of happiness and its importance and role for the young people in the 21st century. Happiness in this dimension, however, is not understood as a state of satisfaction (in the individual dimension), but as a goal to which we aspire in our life. The text presents an axiological presentation of the issue, and the considerations cited in the article were referred to one of the ethical positions, which is the idea of eudaimonism.

Virtue and Proper Use in Plato’s Euthydemus and Stoicism

The essay examines the description of virtue as a craft that governs the proper use of possessions in Plato’s Euthydemus and Stoicism. In the first part, I discuss Socrates’ parallel between wisdom and the crafts in the Euthydemus, and the resulting argument concerning the value of external and bodily possessions. I then offer some objections, showing how Socrates’ craft analogy allows one to think of possessions as (qualifiedly) good and ultimately fails to offer a defense of virtue’s sufficiency for happiness. In the second part, I examine the Stoics’ craft analogy and note a number of differences from Socrates’ account in the Euthydemus. These include the Stoic claim that external advantages never make any contribution to happiness, even when properly used, and the claim that, unlike other crafts, wisdom does not require any external possessions in order to be exercised and yield benefit and happiness. I then place these differences against the backdrop of the debate regarding virtue’s sufficiency for happiness and argue that the Stoic craft model of virtue fares better than its Socratic antecedent.

The article deals with several issues related to the concept of happiness that emerge from Plato’s triptych: the Gorgias, the Republic and the Laws. The focus is on (1) the question of the alleged overcoming of the eudaimonistic imperative, i.e., natural human pursuit of happiness, in the didactic message of the Republic; (2) the question of to what extent the path of cognition ending in the contemplation of the perfect being is at the same time a strive for the supreme happiness; (3) the dilemma of choosing between a reductive and a cumulative model of complete satisfaction in human life; and finally (4) the problem of affiliative conditions of full life satisfaction.

Although Bertrand Russell is probably most famous for his “logi­cal atomism,” it is his ethical thought that this article will attempt to contrast with the ethics of the founder of the ancient atomism: Democritus of Abdera. Russell has himself suggested certain affinity here. More concerned with practice than theory, both philosophers advocate a certain teleological and eudemonistic morality; furthermore, they both adopt the same approaches to various related topics. Yet, what had only been outlined by Democritus was extensively developed by Russell. Hence, it is worth examining whether there is any deeper common ground between the two: can Russell’s clarity throw some light on Democritus’ fragments?

This study aims to explore the ambiguous nature of flow and the way it relates to inclination towards addiction. The results of an exploratory factor analysis indicate that the flow experienced by players has at least two components which are called in this study hedonistic flow (direct pleasure seeking) and eudaimonistic flow (escapism). The results of the regression analysis show that 54.4% of the variance of Internet addiction is accounted for by life competence, eudaimonistic flow in a game, excitement as an emotion experienced while playing a game and annoyance as an emotion experienced when it is not possible to play.

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zbadanie dwuznacznej natury przepływu oraz sposobu, w jaki ten związany jest ze skłonnością do uzależnienia. Rezultaty wstępnej analizy czynnikowej wskazują, że przepływ doświadczany przez graczy ma przynajmniej dwa komponenty, nazwane w niniejszym badaniu przepływem hedonistycznym (bezpośrednie poszukiwanie przyjemności) i eudajmonistycznym (eskapizm). Wyniki analizy regresji pokazują, że 54,4% wariancji uzależnienia od internetu wyjaśniane jest przez kompetencje życiowe, eudajmonistyczny przepływ w grze, podekscytowanie jako emocję doświadczaną podczas gry oraz irytację jako emocję doświadczaną, gdy nie istnieje możliwość grania.

Aristotelian Eudaimonism and Patriotism

This paper concerns the prospects for an internal validation of the Aristotelian vir-tues of character. With respect to the more contentious trait of patriotism, this approach for validating some specific trait of character as a virtue of character provides a plau-sible and nuanced Aristotelian position that does not fall neatly into any of the catego-ries provided by a recent mapping of the terrain surrounding the issue of patriotism. According to the approach advocated here, patriotism can plausibly, though qualifiedly, be defended as a virtue, by stressing its similarities to another loyalty-exhibiting trait about which Aristotle has quite a bit to say: the virtue of friendship.

J. S. Mill is commonly considered as a representative of psychological hedonism. However, his utilitarianism has also eudaimonic and perfectionistic aspects. Thus, various aspects are interelated with one another not only in his moral philosophy, but are present also in his political philosophy. Interpretators of Mill’s philosophy inquire: how those aspects can be reconciled and if Mill's conception can be consistent then? Main aim of the paper is to explain and justify the view, that the idea of happiness by J. S. Mill based on the greatest happiness principle is founded on both traditions present in the Ancient times: eudaimonism and hedonism. I assume, that: in philosophy of J. S. Mill, formulated in the perspective of both traditions of the idea of happiness and good life, hedonism can be reconciled with eudaimonism and perfectionsm. Philosopher can be qualified as many-sided and eclectic, thus denominating his exclusively as hedonist would be incomplete and would be a result of too hasty and imprecise reading of his works.
