Specifically, drawing primarily on Aristotle's accounts of perception and ethics in \u003ci\u003eDe anima \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Nicomachean Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e, Eve Rabinoff argues that the faculty of perception (\u003ci\u003eaisthesis\u003c\/i\u003e), which is often thought to be an entirely physical phenomenon, is informed by intellect and has an ethical dimension insofar as it involves the perception of particulars in their ethical significance, as things that are good or bad in themselves and as occasions to act. Further, she contends, virtuous action requires this ethical perception, according to Aristotle, and ethical development consists in the achievement of the harmony of the intellectual and perceptual, rational and nonrational, parts of the soul. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rabinoff's project is philosophically motivated both by the details of Aristotle's thought and more generally by an increasing philosophical awareness that the ethical agent is an embodied, situated individual, rather than primarily a disembodied, abstract rational will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eve Rabinoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810136422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810136427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Eve Rabinoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096744009983,"sku":"9780810136427","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perception-in-aristotles-ethics-eve-rabinoff-9780810136427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
