Aristotle’s Theory of Conduct (1909)

Aristotle

Aristotle's Theory of Conduct is a book that was originally published in 1909. It is a comprehensive exploration of Aristotle's philosophy on ethics and morality. Aristotle believed that ethics was a practical science that could be applied to everyday life. He believed that the ultimate goal of human life was to achieve happiness, which he defined as a state of well-being that results from living a virtuous life. The book delves into Aristotle's concept of virtue, which he believed was a balance between excess and deficiency. He believed that a virtuous person would act in a way that was neither too extreme nor too passive. Aristotle also explores the role of pleasure in ethical decision-making, arguing that it is not inherently bad but must be balanced with reason.The book is divided into several sections, each exploring a different aspect of Aristotle's philosophy. It begins with an overview of his ethical theory, followed by a discussion of the virtues and their relation to happiness. The book also explores the role of friendship, justice, and the importance of education in cultivating virtuous behavior.Overall, Aristotle's Theory of Conduct is a seminal work in the field of ethics and provides valuable insights into Aristotle's philosophy on morality and human behavior. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or seeking to deepen their understanding of ethical theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
