I just started reading Nicomachean ethics by this guy named "Aristotle". What is 'good' defined as by him? It says in the notes that Good is what something or multiple parties seek. If something or everyone seeks x then x is good. What does this mean? I assumed 'Good' in this sense referred to its ultimate perfected state, or its 'telos'. So what is 'good' ?
