{"product_id":"aristotle-on-the-sources-of-sylvia-berryman-9780198835004","title":"Aristotle on the Sources of the Ethical Life","description":"\u003cem\u003eAristotle on the Sources of the Ethical Life\u003c\/em\u003e challenges the common belief that Aristotle's ethics is founded on an appeal to human nature, an appeal that is thought to be intended to provide both substantive ethical advice and justification for the demands of ethics. 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Berryman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198835000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198835004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Sylvia Berryman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119432593663,"sku":"9780198835004","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f424b13-3d7b-4444-88ce-9ef132c750a3.jpg?v=1687409316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aristotle-on-the-sources-of-sylvia-berryman-9780198835004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
