Aristotle's ethics are the most important in the history of Western
philosophy, but little has been said about the reception of his
ethics by his many successors. The present volume offers thirteen
newly commissioned essays covering figures and periods from the
ancient world, starting with the impact of the ethics on
Hellenistic philosophy, taking in medieval, Jewish and Islamic
reception and extending as far as Kant and the twentieth century.
Each essay focuses on a single philosopher, school of philosophers,
or philosophical era. The accounts examine and compare Aristotle's
views and those of his heirs and also offer a reception history of
the ethics, dealing with matters such as the availability and
circulation of Aristotle's texts during the periods in question.
The resulting volume will be a valuable source of information and
arguments for anyone working in the history of ethics.
