Klappentext

The Unity of the Virtues in the Eudemian Ethics is the first monograph in English entirely dedicated to Aristotle's long understudied Eudemian Ethics, now in the process of being rediscovered thanks to the new Greek edition of the text. This book argues that in the Eudemian Ethics, Aristotle develops a distinctive philosophical proposal pertaining to how the virtues (or excellences) are unified and co-function together. It sheds light on core topics in Aristotle's ethics such as practical wisdom, character virtues, theoretical thinking, the excellent agent, and happiness.
