The Wisdom of Aristotle

Focusing on Aristotle's concept of phronesis, Carlo Natali offers a critical examination of the philosopher's views on contemplation and the good life. He addresses critiques of Aristotle's perceived intellectualism, arguing for the importance of the mind while countering justifications for immorality. Natali navigates contemporary debates, presenting a compelling case for the relevance of Aristotle's wisdom in modern ethical decision-making. This work integrates insights from both continental and analytic philosophical traditions, marking it as a definitive scholarly exploration of practical reasoning in ethics.
