This book features many of the leading voices championing the revival of Neo-Aristotelian Ethical Naturalism (AN) in contemporary philosophy. It addresses the whole range of issues facing this research program at present. Coverage in the collection identifies differentiations, details standpoints, and points out new perspectives. This volume answers a need: AN is quite new to contemporary philosophy, despite its deep roots in the history of philosophy. As yet, there are many unanswered questions regarding its relation to contemporary views in metaethics. It is certainly not equivalent to dominant naturalistic approaches to metaethics in Anglophone philosophy. Indeed, it is not obviously incompatible with some approaches identified as nonnaturalistic. Further, there are controversies regarding the views of the first wave of virtue revivalists. The work of G.E.M. Anscombe and Philippa Foot is frequently misunderstood, despite the fact that they are important figures in the contemporary revival. This volume details a robust approach to ethics by situating it within the context of human life. It will help readers to better understand how AN raises deep questions about the relation of action and its evaluation to human nature. Neo-Aristotelians argue that something like the traditional cardinal virtues, practical wisdom, temperance, justice and courage, are qualities that perfect human reason and desire.

Wie kann der gegenwartig bestehende Hiatus zwischen Ethik, der Reflexion auf Moral und Ethos, dem sittlichen Handeln als solchen, uberwunden werden? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage nimmt Martin Hahnel Bezug auf die Idee einer grundlegenden sittlichen Werthaltung - Sachlichkeit -, deren anthropologische Wurzeln zuerst von Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner und Arnold Gehlen aufgewiesen wurden. Hans-Eduard Hengstenberg entwickelt darauf aufbauend eine umfassende Moralanthropologie und liefert damit eine notwendigerweise um wichtige Einsichten der modernen Tugendethik - vor allem von Philippa Foot und John McDowell - zu erganzende Grundlage fur die Klarung einer Verstandnisweise des Ethos, das sich eine Selbstanwendung nicht langer zu verbieten braucht.
