Explore how Aristotle links psychology, ethics, and the quest for a rational, well-lived life.

In this accessible introduction, you’ll see how Aristotle’s view of the soul, its different ranks, and its relation to body shapes his ideas about virtue, happiness, and the good life. The text connects psychology to biology and medicine, showing how thinking and feeling guide moral choice and social life. This edition draws out the practical paths Aristotle offers for developing character and reasoning in everyday life.

How the soul’s parts—vegetative, sensitive, and rational—drive human behavior.
What Aristotle means by virtue, happiness, and the highest good for a person among others.
The distinction between practical and dianoetic virtues and how to cultivate them.
The role of reason in turning potential into realized moral action.

Ideal for readers of philosophy who want a clear, compact view of Aristotle’s psychology and ethics as they relate to the good life in everyday terms.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

It is written for the student rather than for the teacher. It is a history of philosophy upon the background of geography and of literary and political history. As a text-book for sketch-courses it employs sum maries, tables, and other generalizations as helps to the memory. The philosophical teaching is presented as simply as possible, so as to bring into prominence only the leading doctrines. My own personal criticism and interpretation on the one hand, and explanations in technical language on the other, have been avoided as far as possible. Sometimes I have had to choose between interpretation and technicality, in which case the limitations of space have determined my choice. Since the book is intended for the student rather than for the teacher, it makes the teacher all the more necessary; for it puts into the hands of the student an outline and into the hands of the teacher the class-room time for inspiring the student with his own interpretations. In making use of geographical maps, contemporary litera ture, and political history, this book is merely utilizing for pedagogical reasons the stock of information with which the college student is furnished when he begins the history of philosophy.
