. I do not understand why Philippa Foot says that the “fictitious person” Fred is not happy (Cahn, 84). To me, Fred seems happy because he has achieved his goals, is self-satisfied, and experiences euphoria; isn’t that happiness? When I think of being happy, I think of feeling content with my actions and state of being; isn’t Fred experiencing that? She explains that he isn’t happy because “we” are not happy with him, but who are we to say how someone is supposed to feel? I believe that feelings are subjective to the person that is feeling them.

2.Socrates argues that eternal desires are based on ethical desires. In other words, an immoral person lacks not only moral integrity but also the goods such as love and friendship. I don’t think that can be a case. How can menpossibly make that argument when the world is full of immoral people that are thriving and enjoy benefits off the expenses of others?
