Abstract
Humanity has questioned the possibility of reaching a good life for itself since the first era. It has associated its existential purpose with this “good” and evaluated achieving good together with the goal of being happy. In all human-themed disciplines, happiness is discussed in a way that follows the pattern of action, knowledge and morality. In this context, happiness has ontologically been among the basic goals of human beings. However, this issue has not always been maintained with the same awareness and understanding. In fact, it has been observed that human beings have lost this focal point recently, especially from the modern age to this time, and it is observed that the conceptual analysis of happiness is handled on a horizontal plane and its essence meaning is narrowed. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the connection between philosophy and sufi thoughts and humanbeings, their actions and morality in the understanding of happiness, and to create a horizon on the ultimate purpose and motivation of human life by revealing interdisciplinary similarities and differences there. Considering that an existential virtue such as happiness has a history and breadth as long as humanity, it has been deemed appropriate to limit the subject. For this reason, the thoughts of the philosopher Aristotle and the sufi Mawlānā, who are considered important values in terms of humanity and the history of thought, have formed the basic elements of the study. The opinions of the thinkers have been examined and evaluated by subjecting them to content analysis.
