Pavlos Kontos

Aristotle on the Scope of Practical Reason (eBook, ePUB)

Spectators, Legislators, Hopes, and Evils

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a new account of Aristotle's practical philosophy. Kontos argues that Aristotle does not restrict practical reason to its action-guiding and motivational role; rather, practical reason remains practical in the full sense of the term even when its exercise does not immediately concern the guidance of our present actions.
