The document discusses different perspectives on the ultimate purpose and end of human life. It examines vague answers provided by ancient philosophers like contemplating the sun or learning how to die. It also discusses imperfect forms of happiness based on wealth, health, pleasure, or glory. Ultimately, it argues that God is the perfect and ultimate end of man, and perfect happiness can only be achieved through union with God. It explores St. Thomas Aquinas' view that happiness involves intellectual vision, comprehension, and enjoyment of God as the highest good.

The Naturalistic Conception of Happiness according to Saint Thomas Aquinas fr...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Happiness is an obsession for every human consciousness. It is a question that plagues human
psychology, notwithstanding the varied and divergent answers that are formulated. Happiness is the object of a
never-ending quest, and human actions are motivated by the pursuit of this goal. Happiness is, in fact, an
aspiration common to all human beings. According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, man is a lost being (as a result of
original sin), and he must find God in order to be able to heal this wound in his nature, otherwise happiness for
him would be a dream in color, in other words, a phantasmagoria. For the author, in fact, man‟s perfect and
eternal happiness, which he calls beatitude, lies in intimate and loving contemplation, that is to say, in the
superior and supernatural speculation of truth. From then on, we reproach the Angelic Doctor for not being able
to reach the end of his reflection. Between nature and happiness, we argue for the inclusion of a third term,
which would be culture, i.e. culture that takes into account the scientific, technical and strategic aspects. In
short, if man is to be truly happy, he must integrate all the dimensions of life.
KEYWORDS: contemplation, culture, God, happiness, nature

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. II. The End and the Good
An end is that towards
which an action tends.
9. Different Ends:
1. Proximate
- an immediate end on account of
which an action is immediately
performed
2. Intermediate
- a subordinate end sought for the
attainment of another end
10. Different Ends:
3. Ultimate
- is that on account of which other ends
or means are sought
4. Absolute last end
- is defined by St. Thomas as “ the end
for the sake of which all other things are
desired, and which is not itself desired
for the sake of anything else”.
11. We further distinguish:
1. The end of the action
- is the intrinsic purpose of the
action
2. The end of the agent
- is the good or purpose that an
agent has in mind
12. 3 Principles:
First principle:
Every agent that performs an action acts for
the sake of the end of purpose to be
attained.
Second principle:
Every agent acts for an ultimate end.
Third principle:
Every agent has the power of moving for an
end which is suitable or good for him.
13. Goods:
1. Real Good
- is something truly good in itself
2. Apparent Good
- is real evil but appears under the
reality of good, as
theft, revenge, suicide.
Every moral evil is an apparent good.
14. Goods:
3. Conditional Good
- is a good under a certain
aspect
4. Simple Good
- is something perfect according
to its own nature
15. Goods:
5. Imperfect Good
- is anything that satisfies either the
inferior appetites of man or the superior
powers.
6. Perfect Good
- can satisfy human nature completely
and perfectly to the highest degree and
leaves nothing to be desired
16. III. The Last End and Happiness
What is the reality under the name
“good” or “end” contained in all
human desires and behind all
human experience?
We call it happiness.
17. Pascal expressed:
All men have happiness as their
object.
There is no exception.
However different they
employ, they all aim at the same
end.
18. St. Thomas explained:
“ The love of the good which man
naturally desires as an end is a
natural love; but the love
derived from this, of a good
loved for the sake of the end is
an elective love”
19. IV. Imperfect Happiness
a. A man may think he is happy if
he can avail himself of the goods
and pleasures that money can
buy.
True happiness cannot be
bought with money.
20. IV. Imperfect Happiness
b. A man may think that happiness
is his because he is physically
strong.
But human happiness cannot
consist in the health of a body
that will disintegrate and return to
the inorganic world of matter.
21. IV. Imperfect Happiness
c. Happiness is generally identified
with bodily pleasures and the
luxuries of life.
But pleasures cannot offer a real
and perfect happiness for they
carry a sense of limitation and
discomfort.
22. IV. Imperfect Happiness
d. Glory, prestige, honor, and special
glamour” cannot offer man a
complete and lasting happiness, for
these things are established upon the
whims and caprices fickle public
opinion that fluctuates like the
weather vane.
To be well-known is not to be happy.
23. IV. Imperfect Happiness
e. Not even science and virtue are
perfect happiness because of the
difficulties and hardships they
imply, although virtue is the best
way to attain happiness.
24. St. Thomas expressed:
“ The present life is the subject to
many unavoidable evils; to
ignorance on the part of the
intellect; and to many penalties
on the part of the body”.
25. V. Perfect Happiness
They defined happiness as,
St. Thomas
“ The ultimate achievement of an
intellectual nature”
Boethius
“ Happiness is a state made perfect by
the aggregation of all good things”.
27. St Augustine summed up:
“ Following after God is the desire
of happiness; to reach God is
happiness itself….. For whoever
possesses God is happy”.
28. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“Happiness is two-fold; the one is
imperfect and it is possible in this
life; the other is perfect, consisting
in the vision of God”.
29. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ For imperfect happiness such as
can be had in this life, external
goods are necessary, not as
belonging to the essence of
happiness, but by serving as
instruments to happiness which
consists in an operation of
virtue”.
30. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ The apprehension of the senses
does not attain to the universal
good, but to some particular
good which is delightful”.
31. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ Perfect happiness cannot
consist essentially in the
consideration of speculative
sciences”.
32. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ For perfect happiness, the
intellect needs to reach the
very essence of the First
Cause”.
33. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ The final perfection of the
human intellect is by union with
God, who is the first principle
both of the creation of the soul
and of its enlightenment”.
34. VI. St. Thomas Aquina’s
Philosophy of Happiness”
“ Three things must occur in happiness: to
wit, vision, which is perfect knowledge
of the intelligible end:
comprehension, which implies presence
of the end: and delight or
enjoyment, which implies repose of the
lover in the object beloved”.
35. VII. The Natural and the
Supernatural Purposes of Human Life
Aristotle believed that,
“The natural purpose of man is to live in
a way befilling his human nature”.
“ Man is made for virtue, for perfection”.
36. VIII. Utilitarianism and
Pragmatism
According to Jeremy Bentham
( English Philosopher),
“Pleasure and pain are the only motives
of human actions”.
“That is morally good which gives the
greatest happiness to the greatest
number of people”.
37. VIII. Utilitarianism and
Pragmatism
According to John Stuart Mill,
“The creed which accepts as the
foundation of Morals, Utility or the
Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that
actions are right in proportion as they
tend to promote happiness, wrong as
they tend to produce the reverse of
happiness.
