EURYTHMY OF ETHICS AND HAPPINESS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Abstract

The essential objective of this article is to investigate the considerations about the concept of ethics and happiness. Ethics and Happiness are directly linked to the use of reason, insofar as happiness is the purpose of ethics.” The unity of ethics and happiness is established through the concept of eurythmy. It alludes to fundamental values that do not need demonstration for a person to enjoy happiness. As happiness is the fair measure of the use of “reason and emotion,” it is concluded that to achieve it ethically we must avoid fragile forms of happiness, since happiness aspires to an “intelligent heart” and not to an “intelligence without heart. The article consists of two parts; In the first, ethics and values are discussed, key elements for happiness, dialoguing with Aristotle, Daniel Serrão and Damásio, in the second, we enter into dialogue, in addition to the authors already mentioned, with Kant, about happiness and the fragile forms of happiness. It is concluded that happiness and ethics in Aristotle and Daniel Serrão converge and morality and happiness in Kant, despite being different from the first, is not necessarily contrary. Different from each other, there is a compatible eurythmy.
