Anthony Celano

Opis

Anthony Celano's study explores how medieval authors recast Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics according to their own moral ideals.

Recenzje

'Celano's textual analyses are laborious, and some features of his story may be considered stimulating insights. His construal of phronesis as primary to Aristotle's moral conception (viii), his emphasis on Albert's contribution to medieval moral thought …, and his inclusion of the largely uncharted anonymous Erfurt commentary … represent important contributions.' Katja Krause, Journal of the History of Philosophy
