Aristotle's account of eudaimonia requires that a life be assessed only at its completion, presupposing that a life is an extended historical narrative, not a bounded biological event.

Account (of a concept)(referring to Aristotle's theory or explanation of eudaimonia): A philosopher's explanation or theory about how something works or what it really means.
Aristotle: Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago and is one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He studied nearly every subject—from animals and plants to politics and ethics—and developed practical ways of thinking that shaped how people understand the world. His ideas on logic, nature, and how to live a good life are still taught and debated today because he focused on observing the real world rather than just abstract theories.
Bounded biological event(what Aristotle's theory explicitly rejects): A single, contained physical occurrence—like the fact that your body exists from birth to death—treated as just one fixed thing rather than an evolving story.
Extended historical narrative(describing how Aristotle views a human life): A story that unfolds over time with multiple chapters and developments, rather than a single moment or snapshot.
