Klappentext zu „Human Nature and "Eudaimonia" in Aristotle “
In his "Nicomachean Ethics", Aristotle says that eudaimonia ("happiness") is the end of human nature. In the Greek thinker's moral theory and theory of human nature, that good has a definite content, and is a universal and even obligatory moral good -- the "true good" of man. Dr. Asselin argues that the connection that Aristotle sees between human nature and eudaimonia illuminates both human nature and the supreme moral good. To the same extent, Aristotle is a perennial source for theorizing about human nature, human moral qualities, and the best life for man.

Pressezitat
"(The book) sets forth a clear analysis of the philosophical questions and offers reasonable solutions that will be useful to readers of the 'Nicomachean Ethics'." (Mark Edward Clark, Religious Studies Review)"Nel contesto dei numerosissimi studi aristotelici recenti questo contributo d'un giovane studioso si trova in contrasto con la corrente dominante quanto all'interpretazione ch'egli dà della concezione aristotelica dell'eudaimonia. ... Yen merito di Asselin l'addurre forti argomenti, basati su una fine esegesi dei testi..." (Giuseppe Abbà, Salesianum)
