Ariatotle would prpably shake his head in dismay.And yes,getting drunk and running down a narrow street with bulls chasing you-well,I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do!

Both. Someone who has experience in these types of extreme activities and realizes the consequences of taking part in them would be considered brave. One who is overconfident, inexperienced and outright oblivious to the danger involved would be considered foolhardy. Since Aristotle claimed that knowledge is gained through experience, I think he would have held a simliar view.

I don't think Aristotle would have much of an opinion. It really all depends on what makes you happy. If bull running makes somebody happy, then by all means go for it. Just as long as you know the consequences beforehand.

Foolhardy. And I have no idea what Aristotle would say.
