Course Content (Syllabus)
The “Nicomachean Ethics” belongs to the practical part of Aristotle's philosophy, the aim of which is action, that is, the possession of knowledge for the sake of acting, whose start resides in the “prohairesis”, i.e. the desire for action after deliberation. In the first book of the treatise, which will be read and explained during the course, Aristotle determines the object of the ethical part of practical philosophy and establishes the method to be followed in the investigation of ethics. Ηe defines and explains the supreme aim of both ethical and political philosophy, which is the possession of the “eudaimonia”, and distinguishes between intellectual and moral virtues, which are examined in the rest of the treatise.
