Abstract

BERRON, Manuel  and  KOGEL, Matías. The methodology used in the search for the definition of virtue in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics II. Tópicos [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.6-9.  Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 1666-485X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.14409/topicos.v0i43.11887.

The aim of this paper is to carry out a detailed reading of Nicomachean Ethics II with the purpose of clarifying what is the methodology used in its writing by the Stagirite. In the context of the controversy about whether his writings are dialectical in nature, as the prevailing view since the 1960s believed, or whether they respect the methodological guidelines of the Second Analytics, we defend an integrationist interpretation that contemplates the presence of aspects of the dialectics as well as the method of the Analytics.

Keywords : Aristotle; Nicomachean ethics; virtue; methodology; definition.
