Aristotles Practical Philosophy
Aristotles Practical Philosophy
This book is the first collection of essays in English devoted solely to the relationship between Aristotles ethics and politics. Are ethics and politics two separate spheres of action or are they unified?Those who support the unity-thesisemphasize the centrality for Aristotle of questions about the good life and the common good as the purpose of politics. Those who defend the separation-thesis stress Aristotles sense of realism in understanding the need for political solutions to human shortcomings. But is this all there is to it? The contributors to this volume explore and develop different arguments and interpretative frameworks that help to make sense of the relationship between AristotlesEthicsandPolitics. The chapters loosely follow the order of theNicomachean Ethicsin examining topics such as political science, statesmanship and magnanimity, justice, practical wisdom, friendship, and the relationship between the active and the contemplative life.They have in common an appreciation of the relevance of Aristotles writings, which offer the modern readerdistinct philosophical perspectives on the relationship between ethics and politics.
