Isocrates’ Political Science
This article argues that despite Aristotle’s criticism of him, Isocrates does not actually hold the belief that political science, or universal knowledge of practical affairs, is impossible. When he appears to express this view, he is using hyperbole to distinguish himself from his adversaries. In reality, while he certainly underscores the significance of particular cases and doxa, he also claims to possess insights into universal principles con…
Mind your Prayers. Aristotle’s Notion of euchê
In Aristotle’s world there is no God to answer our prayers ( euchê ) and yet prayers follow the excellent city of the Politics like a shadow. Nonetheless, as far as I know, people have been content to narrow the focus of investigation to Aristotle’s utopia, its plausibility, structure and infrastructure, leaving prayers out of the picture. The most prayers themselves seem to deserve is a footnote or so. The result is that attention is switched aw…
Aristotle on the Scope of Practical Reason
Hoping-well
Aristotle tries to solve the riddle of future-directedness and luck-awareness by offering an account of what he calls ‘good hope’ or hoping-well. I concede that hope does not hold Aristotle’s attention for long.

Non‐Virtuous Intellectual States in Aristotle’s Ethics
This chapter raises the question of whether Aristotle acknowledges the existence of intellectual, practical (praktikai), and productive (poiētikai) non-virtuous states. It argues that the canvas of practical and productive states — that is, of practical wisdom, craft, and their opposites — is much more nuanced and coherent than it is usually taken to be; that not to make room for non-virtuous practical intellectual states would be detrimental to …
The Lower Forms of Friendship as Poiesis
L'A. mesure le role de la distinction ontologique entre praxis et poiesis, techne et phronesis, du point de vue de l'ethique aristotelicienne. L'A. defend la these selon laquelle la praxis devient poiesis, dans le sens d'une action morale elementaire qu'illustre l'exemple de l'amitie
