Abstract
This paper analyses the part that resilience plays in the present sociocultural miscomprehension of existence that takes it as the fulfilment of material success supposedly to get the utmost pleasure for everyone. After an introduction where it is displayed the general conditions of this miscomprehension, in the first section it is studied the verbal meaning of the term ‘resilience’ that is questionably used to identify resilience with happiness; in the second section, it is elucidated the Aristotelian theory on happiness to show that it is absurd such an identification; in the third section, it is shown that the former position follows from a reduction of the temporal structure of man’s being to the abstract measure of the operativity of everyone.
