Produktinformationen zu „Aristotelian Philosophy (PDF)“
Aristotle is the most influential philosopher of practice, and
Knight's new book explores the continuing importance of
Aristotelian philosophy. First, it examines the theoretical bases
of what Aristotle said about ethical, political and productive
activity. It then traces ideas of practice through such figures as
St Paul, Luther, Hegel, Heidegger and recent Aristotelian
philosophers, and evaluates Alasdair MacIntyre's contribution.
Knight argues that, whereas Aristotle's own thought legitimated
oppression, MacIntyre's revision of Aristotelianism separates
ethical excellence from social elitism and justifies resistance.
With MacIntyre, Aristotelianism becomes revolutionary.
MacIntyre's case for the Thomistic Aristotelian tradition
originates in his attempt to elaborate a Marxist ethics informed by
analytic philosophy. He analyses social practices in teleological
terms, opposing them to capitalist institutions and arguing for the
cooperative defence of our moral agency. In condensing these ideas,
Knight advances a theoretical argument for the reformation of
Aristotelianism and an ethical argument for social change.
