Fractured Goodness (eBook, PDF)

Aristotle's Response to Plato's Form of the Good

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A book about Aristotle's rejection of Plato's doctrine of the Form of the Good. It argues that, according to Aristotle, when we generalize from virtues to goodness, we wrongly form a presumption of univocity which, even if defensible in some cases, is indefensible in the general case.
