Aristotle argued that you don’t even know whether someone lived a good life until after they died and you have time to reflect on their life and achievements, and even then I think he was going by “I’ll know it when I see it”.
I’m under the impression that Aristotle argues the very opposite (in NE I.10, for example). Can you cite a passage for me?
Yeah, I think I was remembering his intermediate conclusions more than the final one. I was just about to cite that passage before realizing it’s the one you meant.
