Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics had a profound influence on
generations of later philosophers, not only in the ancient era but
also in the medieval period and beyond. In this book, Anthony
Celano explores how medieval authors recast Aristotle's Ethics
according to their own moral ideals. He argues that the moral
standard for the Ethics is a human one, which is based upon the
ethical tradition and the best practices of a given society. In the
Middle Ages, this human standard was replaced by one that is
universally applicable, since its foundation is eternal immutable
divine law. Celano resolves the conflicting accounts of happiness
in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, demonstrates the importance of
the virtue of phronesis (practical wisdom), and shows how the
medieval view of moral reasoning alters Aristotle's concept of
moral wisdom.
