This area of thought has attracted the strong interest of philosophers ever since Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Third Book). With the advent of psychology and later neuroscience, many, in general
- The Aristotelian concept of energeia Energeia is an important Greek technical term in the works of Aristotle. The two components of his coinage indicate something being "in work".

- Activity (UML) An activity in Unified Modeling Language is a major task that must take place in order to fulfill an operation contract. Activities can be represented in activity diagrams, a major task in Unified Modeling Language
- Activity diagram Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams can be used to describe the business and operational step-by-step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of, a diagram representing activities in Unified Modeling Language
- Activity, an alternative name for the game charades Charades or charade is a word guessing game. In the form most played today, it is an acting game in which one player acts out a word or phrase, often by pantomiming similar-sounding words, and the other players guess the word or phrase.

- Activity (chemistry) In chemical thermodynamics activity is a measure of the “effective concentration” of a species in a mixture. By convention, it is a dimensionless quantity. The activity of pure substances in condensed phases (solid or liquids) is normally taken as unity. Activity depends on temperature, pressure and composition of the mixture, among other, the effective concentration of a solute for the purposes of mass action
- Activity (project management) In project management a task is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time. An assignment is a task under the responsibility of an assignee which should have a start and end date defined. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task should claim the
- Activity (radioactivity), radioactive decay#Radioactive decay rates Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation. This decay, or loss of energy, results in an atom of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to an atom of a different type, named the daughter nuclide. For example: a carbon-14 atom emits radiation, the number of radioactive decays per second
- Activity (software engineering) Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams can be used to describe the business and operational step-by-step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of
- Activity (soil mechanics) The Atterberg limits are a basic measure of the nature of a fine-grained soil. Depending on the water content of the soil, it may appear in four states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid. In each state the consistency and behavior of a soil is different and thus so are its engineering properties. Thus, the boundary between each state can be
