Sylvia Berryman argues that this is not Aristotle's intent, while resisting the view that Aristotle was blind to questions of the source or justification of his ethical views. She interprets Aristotle's views as a 'middle way' between the metaphysical grounding offered by Platonists, and the scepticism or subjectivist alternatives articulated by others. The commitments implicit in the nature of action figure prominently in this account: Aristotle reinterprets Socrates' famous paradox that no-one does evil willingly, taking it to mean that a commitment to pursuing the good is implicit in the very nature of action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSylvia Berryman, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Philosophy, The University of British Columbia\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSylvia Berryman is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. Her previous research into the history of ancient Greek ideas about the sciences and their impact on philosophy led to her current interest in the impact of Aristotle's biological work on his conception of the good in ethics. She is also interested in the applications of Aristotelian virtue ethics in contemporary philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.3 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753979248928,"sku":"9780198835004","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/377cd854dbff5918814d91f75b1d9d6a.webp?v=1780030790","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/aristotle-on-the-sources-of-the-ethical-life-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
