Explain clearly in your own words the two accounts, bringing out the differences between them as well as their similarities. Then present and defend your own evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of one and the other.

Aristotle and Epicurus give somewhat similar and somewhat different accounts of the highest good. Explain clearly in your own words the two accounts, bringing out the differences between them as well as their similarities. Then present and defend your own evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of one and the other: which account is better, in which ways? (Note: you don’t have to simply go with one account or the other, but you must do is clearly explain why you evaluate each account the way you do, and you must give reasons for your preference.)
