Abstract

The current research project aims at producing a running commentary of Book VI of Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics, which is the book where Aristotle more fully discusses his notion of practical rationality. The translation is part of a major investigation of the practical rationality in Aristotle. At the same time, conferences and workshops will be organized on related topics of ancient Greek philosophy. (AU)
