• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Living Together: Essays on Aristotle's Ethics, philosopher Jennifer Whiting explores Aristotle's conception of eudaimonia in ways that connect both with the contemporary questions about friendship and personal identity she explored in First, Second, and Other Selves (OUP 2016) and with the questions about Aristotle's metaphysics and psychology that she explores in Body and. Soul: Essays on Aristotle's Hylomorphism (OUP 2023).
