Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics
This thesis is an examination of the argument and character of Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics. Its goal is to provide a critical analysis that will elucidate the treatise's themes in general and its arguments in particular.

The third section attempts to illustrate the natu…
Recognizing Differences

Taking advantage of these opportunities reveals an oft-over…
