White holds that complete virtue, and more especially the activity in accordance with it, is dominant in Aristotle's version of the happy life.

138Aristotle’s “De Anima”: A Critical CommentaryCambridge University Press. 2007.Aristotle's De Anima is the first systematic philosophical account of the soul, which serves to explain the functioning of all mortal living things.
