Riassunto

In this incisive study Sarah Broadie gives an argued account of the main topics of Aristotle's ethics:eudaimonia, virtue, voluntary agency, practical reason, akrasia, pleasure, and the ethical status oftheoria. She explores the sense of "eudaimonia," probes Aristotle's division of the soul and its virtues, and traces the ambiguities in "voluntary." Fresh light is shed on his comparison of practical wisdom with other kinds of knowledge, and a realistic account is developed of Aristototelian deliberation. The concept of pleasure as value-judgment is expounded, and the problem ofakrasia is argued to be less of a problem to Aristotle than to his modern interpreters. Showing that the theoretic ideal ofNicomachean Ethics X is in step with the earlier emphasis on practice, as well as with the doctrine of theEudemian Ethics, this work makes a major contribution towards the understanding of Aristotle's ethics.
