Abstract
Abstract While traditionally included in the Aristotelian corpus, the Magna Moralia is generally regarded (for linguistic reasons, among others) as not written by Aristotle. Rather, it is thought to be a writing of one of his di ect disciples, or ‘a post-Aristotelian epitome’. As the Magna Moralia clearly attempts to cover approximately the same ground as the Nicomachean and Eudemian Ethics, it is natural to analyse the extent to which the Magna Moralia develops Aristotle’s accounts. I shall analyse one such aspect in detail, namely the argument at MM 1187a29b20, within the account of how virtue and vice are voluntary and depend on us.This argument has not been given the attention it deserves in previous scholarship.
