Book Description
In Aristotle’s Ethics as First Philosophy Claudia Baracchi demonstrates the indissoluble links between practical and theoretical wisdom in Aristotle’s thinking. Referring to a broad range of texts from the Aristotelian corpus, Baracchi shows how the theoretical is always informed by a set of practices, and specifically, how one’s encounter with phenomena, the world, or nature in the broadest sense, is always a matter of ethos. Such a ‘modern’ intimation can, thus, be found at the heart of Greek thought. Baracchi’s book opens the way for a comprehensively reconfigured approach to classical Greek philosophy.
