Aristotle on the Sources of the Ethical Life

Discover a new perspective on Aristotle's ethical theory in Aristotle on the Sources of the Ethical Life by Sylvia Berryman. Published by Oxford University Press in 2019, this thought-provoking hardback spans 230 pages and invites readers to rethink Aristotle's approach to ethics. Berryman challenges the traditional notion that Aristotle sought a biological basis for ethics, presenting his ideas as a balanced 'middle way' that navigates between the metaphysical foundations of Platonism and the sceptical, subjectivist views that followed. This insightful reinterpretation not only enriches our understanding of ancient philosophy but also engages contemporary discussions on ethics. Perfect for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of moral philosophy, this book is a must-read for those looking to deepen their knowledge of Aristotle's contributions to ethical thought.
