Perception in Aristotle's Ethics

Perception in Aristotle’s Ethics

by Eve Rabinoff

Publisher: Northwestern University Press 2018
ISBN-13: 9780810136441
Number of pages: 206

Description:
The book seeks to demonstrate that living an ethical life requires a mode of perception that is best called ethical perception. Specifically, drawing primarily on Aristotle’s accounts of perception and ethics in De anima and Nicomachean Ethics, Eve Rabinoff argues that the faculty of perception (aisthesis), 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.
