Abstract
Following Martha Nussbaum's The Fragility of Goodness, this paper traces the concept of eudaimonia, as it appears in Aristotle and the Hellenists and it links it with those of tyche y ataraxia. By the end, the author reaches the conclusion that though a certain late platonism –adopted by a biased Christian viewpoint–, has led the aim of human perfecting in a divine and trascendental perspective, Greek and Hellenist thought allows us to seek perfection in a humanly divinized state, where all human faculties –not only the rational ones– may attain an imperturbable interior peace.
