This supports the view that we are indeed social animals,
seeking approval and validation from one another.

    • Yes, he operates better in a society because the division of thoughts and of labors makes him wealthier in mind and in his quality of life.

    "accepted, needed, and appreciated" were not concerns of Aristotle's and had no bearing on his science of 'qua Man'.
    Yes, one of our physical needs is to feel accepted, needed, and appreciated. Interacting socially helps us fill these needs.
    why, do you doubt it's true?

    really?
    yes. i don't think one could easily live without being social with someone. Humans feel the need to be around other people.
