Obzirom da svako ljudsko djelovanje ima specifični cilj tako usavršavanje i upotpunjavanje ljudske duše ima svoj specifični cilj. Cilj usavršavanja ljudske duše jeste njena sreća a što predstavlja njeno dobro. Prema tome, nužno je prioritetna spoznaja suštine dobra i sreće kako bi se upoznavanjem istog potaklo stremljenje ka savršenstvu i kako bi u tragaocu preovladao žar i na taj način se u potpunosti pojačalo zadovoljstvo i raspoloženje za dostizanje cilja.
