Aristotle on the Sources of the Ethical Life challenges the common
belief that Aristotle's ethics is founded on an appeal to human
nature, an appeal that is thought to be intended to provide both
substantive ethical advice and justification for the demands of
ethics. Sylvia Berryman argues that this is not Aristotle's intent,
while resisting the view that Aristotle was blind to questions of
the source or justification of his ethical views. She interprets
Aristotle's views as a 'middle way' between the metaphysical
grounding offered by Platonists, and the scepticism or subjectivist
alternatives articulated by others. The commitments implicit in the
nature of action figure prominently in this account: Aristotle
reinterprets Socrates' famous paradox that no-one does evil
willingly, taking it to mean that a commitment to pursuing the good
is implicit in the very nature of action.
