Eudaimonia is about living a happy life and flourishing as a person. Aristotle said it was the ultimate goal for humans. <br><br>A sociopath is a person with no conscience or morals. They have nothing holding them back from doing the things they want to do in life. They have no fear of punishment or guilt or anxiety. They are able to be completely rational and think only of what will make their life better.<br><br>It seems that a sociopath would be able to achieve Eudaimonia easier than anyone else. They have nothing holding them back. Is this a contradiction? Am I missing something?
