Abstract

The book represents state-of-the-art thought about moral psychology and philosophy of action in Aristotle, considered as a prelude to or basis for ethics. Drawing not only from Aristotle's ethical writings, but also from his psychological works, the chapters discuss such issues as the nature of pleasure, the relationship between pleasure and emotion, the role of desire and imagination, deliberation about ends, weakness of will, intention and double effect, and the formation of character through education and the agent's own choices.
