Description and Table of Contents
Description
The present volume brings together a number of studies, eight in all,
dedicated to diverse aspects of Aristotle's conception of rational
action and practical rationality. Two principal motifs account for their
thematic unity. The first one is given in the idea that Aristotle's view
is characterized by a fundamental tension between the totalizing
orientation of practical rationality, on the one hand, and the
situational subjection of human action, on the other. The second one
concerns the connection that Aristotle establishes between rational
action (praxis) and truth, expressed in the notion of practical truth.
The proposed interpretation seeks to show that Aristotle's conception is
not just internally consistent and philosophically interesting. It is
also capable of entering into fruitful dialogue with a whole range of
modern and contemporary views.
