An Integrative Relationship among Happiness, Virtue and Love According toMiskawayh’s Thought
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
It cannot be denied that the notion of happiness is linked to success, an affinity to the need for wealth, popularity, and power. But on the contrary, achievement of all these needs, did not also make people happy. Success stories of rich people famous for treasure and fame, in the end also suffered misery. Then the perspective of happiness must be sorted from its relationship with wealth and popularity, because these two things do not guarantee a person get happiness. Many people are incapable of understanding happiness in the context of the spiritual needs of man, who are not actually tied to the value of matter. Ibn Miskawayh provides the right therapy for the treatment of the soul. The soul must be given nutrition in the form of spiritual needs, such as garish seeking knowledge, thinking about the nature of life, doing good, multiplying remembering Allah swt. The soul must always be directed to always walk on nature. Thus life will be lived quietly away from the inner conflicts that cause anxiety.
