There is now a renewed concern for moral psychology among moral
philosophers. Moreover, contemporary philosophers interested in
virtue, moral responsibility and moral progress regularly refer to
Plato and Aristotle, the two founding fathers of ancient ethics.
The book contains eleven chapters by distinguished scholars which
showcase current research in Greek ethics. Four deal with Plato,
focusing on the Protagoras, Euthydemus, Symposium and Republic, and
discussing matters of literary presentation alongside the
philosophical content. The four chapters on Aristotle address
problems such as the doctrine of the mean, the status of rules,
equity and the tension between altruism and egoism in Aristotelian
eudaimonism. A contrast to classical Greek ethics is presented by
two chapters reconstructing Epicurus' views on the emotions and
moral responsibility as well as on moral development. The final
chapter on personal identity in Empedocles shows that the concern
for moral progress is already palpable in Presocratic philosophy.
