Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Book X - Translation and Commentary (Paperback): Joachim Aufderheide Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Book X - Translation and Commentary (Paperback)
Joachim Aufderheide
R908 Discovery Miles 9 080 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Accompanied by a new translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics X, this volume presents a hybrid between a traditional commentary and a scholarly monograph. Aristotle's text is divided into one hundred lemmata which not only explore comprehensively the content and strength of each of these units of thought, but also emphasise their continuity, showing how the smaller units feed into the larger structure. The Commentary illuminates what Aristotle thinks in each lemma (and why), and also shows how he thinks. In order to bring Aristotle alive as a thinker, it often explores several possible ways of reading the text to enable the reader to make up their own mind about the best interpretation of a given passage. The relevant background in Plato's dialogues is discussed, and a substantial Introduction sets out the philosophical framework necessary for understanding Book X, the final and most arresting section of the Ethics.

The Highest Good in Aristotle and Kant (Hardcover): Joachim Aufderheide, Ralf M. Bader The Highest Good in Aristotle and Kant (Hardcover)
Joachim Aufderheide, Ralf M. Bader
R2,884 Discovery Miles 28 840 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The notion of the highest good used to occupy a primary role in ethical theorising, but has largely disappeared from the contemporary landscape. The notion was central to both Aristotle's and Kant's ethical theories, however-a surprising observation given that their approaches to ethics are commonly conceived as being diametrically opposed. The essays in this collection provide a comprehensive treatment of the highest good in Aristotle and Kant and show that, even though there are important differences in terms of content, there are also important similarities in terms of the structural features of Aristotle's and Kant's value theories. By carefully analysing Aristotle's and Kant's theories of the highest good, a team of experts in the field shed light on their respective ethical theories and highlight the richness, complexity, and fruitfulness of the notion of the highest good.
