Ohioans were among the earliest and most prominent pioneers in the use of electricity. Leading the way, in 1879, Charles Brush developed arc lighting, providing an easy and cost-effective way to light cities at night. Brush introduced his invention in Cleveland, Ohio, making this city the first one in the world to have electric streetlights. Ohioan Thomas Edison developed a usable light bulb, among dozens of other inventions utilizing electricity. Benjamin Lamme accumulated 162 patents, most dealing with improvements in electricity's use, during his lifetime.
The good life, then, was defined by Aristotle as the activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. [1] Virtue consisted of intellectual virtue and moral virtue. Intellectual virtue was comprised of theoretical wisdom, practical wisdom and understanding.
For human beings in general, Aristotle suggests that the ultimate end or good is happiness, and that happiness itself is living in accordance with reason and virtue. He arrives at this conclusion by differentiating the function of human beings from the function of all other living things.appiness, as the ethical end, does not simply consist in moral virtue, however, but includes intellectual virtue as well, and complete happiness is a contemplative as well as a practical activity. Yet, Aristotle does not exclude all of the common-sense notions of happiness.
