Aristotle on the Scope of Practical Reason

Spectators, Legislators, Hopes, and Evils

af Pavlos (University of Patras Kontos

This book offers a new account of Aristotle¿s practical philosophy. Kontos argues that Aristotle does not restrict practical reason to its action-guiding and motivational role; rather, practical reason remains practical in the full sense of the term even when its exercise does not immediately concern the guidance of our present actions.
