Aristotle's Theory of Practical Wisdom
¥ ARISTOTLE'S THEORY OF PRACTICAL WISDOM By YoSHlo FUJII Professor of Philosophy Aristotelian philosophy has been studied assiduously by scholars of the world for the last two thousand years. It seems that no Aristotelian stone has been left unturned and that nothing new can be said about the Stagirite in the sphere of philosophy and philology. But one can always expect to find a new angle, from which to study his outstanding works on philosophical problems. In any new undertaking, however, we should not follow the Scholastic formulae or the well-beaten path of Aristotelian study. What we are called upon to do today is to throw a new light on the incarnate system of Aristotelian philosophy evolved through following' its development rather than on his pre-harmonized system. This problem has been successfully dealt with by Prof. Werner Jaeger in his work, Aristoteles, Grueedlegueeg eil~er Geschich,te seileer L;fatwicklu,~g (Berlin, 1923). A. E. Taylor was quite right when he said, "If any of us henceforth ventures to make assertions about Aristotle without having taken Mr. Jaeger's fascinating work into account, he will at least be speaking very terribly at his own peril." I That development of Aristotelian philo- sophy seen in the studies effected on the Jaeger method has been followed and furthered largely by F. Solmsen and R. Walzer in both logical and ethical ficlds.2 1 myself have traced by this same method the history of Aristotle's metaphysical and epistemological developments in my work, Aristotelione Studies (in Japanese, Tokyo, 1940). Again in another treatise, The ~thics of Aristotle (in Japanese, Tokyo, 1951), I have endeavoured to survey and analyse the development and structure of the practical wisdom (~)Pb!)~alS) of Aristotle which constitutes the most fundamental concept of all the intellectual virtues. -

Hobbs A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, WI August 2017 ABSTRACT INVESTIGATIONS OF WORTH: TOWARDS A PHENOMENOLOGY OF VALUES Dale (D.J.) Hobbs Marquette University, 2017 The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a clear and compelling account of the existence and nature of values within a phenomenological context. Values such as beauty or virtue are certainly a major part of our experiential lives. After all, what would life be worth if we could never describe a painting as beautiful, for example, or a beverage as delicious? Nevertheless, understanding what these values are on their own terms has historically been a rather difficult task. Certainly, they are not ordinary objects that could be seen or heard, touched or tasted, like the physical objects to which they seem to be connected in some mysterious way. In this dissertation, I argue that a phenomenological approach enables us to give a solid account of the role that values play in experience. Working in dialogue with Husserl and other phenomenologists and related thinkers (especially Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann), as well as with recent commentary, I develop my own account of values as lying on the phenomenological “horizons” of experience. -
From Knowledge to Ontological Awakening: Thinking Nature As Relatedness
The Trumpeter ISSN: 0832-6193 Volume 28, Number 1 (2012) From Knowledge to Ontological Awakening: Thinking Nature as Relatedness To Alan, a great mentor, friend and mountain whisperer Introduction Many environmental scholars and activists have suggested the need of a profound shift of consciousness when it comes to our relationships with Nature (Naess 2008, Merchant 2005, Mathews 2005, Eckersley 2003, Goldsmith 1996). In addition of greening our political ideas, institutions and technologies, they suggest that we need to critically engage the paradigms by which we conceive Nature. The task of clarifying what we mean by Nature has however become increasingly difficult due to the supremacy of an epistemology hostile to metaphysical reflections (Hay 2007, Marsh and Furlong 2002), and the spread of a constructivist and relativistic understanding of the many ways in which humans comprehend Nature (Daly 2008, Dingler 2005, Soper 1995, Meyer 2001). Answering what Nature is has become a daring question, not only because of the supremacy of an epistemology increasingly de-anchored from ontology, but also following the various abuses generated by various essentialist interpretations of what Nature ought to be. As a result, many scholars now prudently claim to speak only about the social and political “effects” of evoking “Nature.” Others are ready to discard this notion altogether, assimilating what would be “Nature” into a cultural scheme prone to challenge all forms of dualism as arbitrary exclusion and all forms of monism as forced inclusion (Morton -
Educational Thoughts of Aristotle and Confucius
Educational Thoughts of Aristotle and Confucius JEONG-KYU LEE Korean Educational Development Institute Hongik University, Seoul ABSTRACT: This study examines the educational principles and aims of Aristotle and Confucius. Through a descriptive analysis, the research questions of the study are assessed . Both philosophers subscribed to the common educational principles that emphasize ethical education for building individual cultivation, social harmony, and the ideal state. The individual and social aims of education are: (a) to provide the proper m ethod of training the virtuous persons who have ideal characters through self-cultivation, and (b) to build the harmonious community and the good state through development of a gentleman or a noble man. On the other hand, differences include: Confucius emphasized his ethical and political principles without supporting the metaphysical and epistemological theories, which was unlike Aristotle's approach; he did not use a set of tools like Aristotle's Organon to justify his ethical a nd political thought. Finally, the article claims that Confucius generally stressed self cultivation through humanity and ritual, while Aristotle primarily emphasized self-actualization through habit and reason. RESUME: Cette etude examine de s principes d'education et des objectifs d'Aristotle et de Confucius. Les questions de la recherche sont evaluees a travers une analyse descriptive. Les deux philosophes souscrivent aux principes communs d'education qui mettent en valeur l'e ducation ethique dont le but primordial est de co nstruire la culture individuelle, l'harmonie sociale et l'etat ideal. Confucius soulignait des notions ethiques et politiques et n e supportait pas les theories metaphysiques et episte mologiques ce qui e tait different de l'approche d'Aristotle. -

Nova Magna Moralia ------PHYSICS-ETHICS-POLITICS: NEOCLASSIC CONCEPTS for POSTMODERN TIMES
Nova Magna Moralia ------------------ PHYSICS-ETHICS-POLITICS: NEOCLASSIC CONCEPTS FOR POSTMODERN TIMES By Paris Arnopoulos Published in SKEPSIS: A Journal of Philosophy & Interdisciplinary Research Volume XIII-XIV, Athens, 2002-3 ABSTRACT At the dawn of the third millennium, humanity is increasingly aware that its traditional ethnocentric ethic is inadequate for the task of global sustainability. It is by now apparent that the contradictory requirements of physical nature, modern culture and human nurture, demand an evolving and dynamic homeostasis among all three existential realms. Under the circumstances, traditional morality may seem too restricted in time and place to suffice in the interdependent and interacting world of the present and future. Yet, it is the fundamental axiom of this paper that updating, enlarging and readapting the classic cannon of ethics as a Modern Macro-Morality (M3) is the best way of resolving some of our planetary problems. In the Emerging Global Order (EGO) of the new millennium, renewed ethics will have to be applied in an ecumenical scale in order to harmonize both the potentiality and responsibility of humanity towards itself and its environment. Building a holistic ethic can only be done by transcending local particularities and emphasizing global similarities, found in all great philosophies, ideologies and religions. A distillation of the essence of these ideas indicates the shared deontology of our species. These human universals are firmly rooted in the implicate order of things from which they draw their common heritage and to which they eventually return. The primordial origin of this particular study is classic natural law as the eternal foundation of a renewed cosmopolitan ethic. -

HUSSERL and NEO-KANTIANISM Timothy J
HUSSERL AND NEO-KANTIANISM Timothy J. Stapleton The suggestion of thematic and methodological affin• ities between the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and the philosophies of Descartes and Kant appears repeated• ly within the expansive secondary literature on the origin's of transcendental phenomenology, as well as in the actual publications of Husserl himself. Husserl's indebtedness to Cartesian thought reveals itself through• out these writings, attaining its most explicit formula• tion in a series of lectures given in 1929, published under the title of Cartesian Meditations. Within this work, Husserl refers to his own phenomenology as a type of neo-Cartesianism, pointing to Descartes' Meditationes as the impetus generating the movement from a developing phenomenology to a genuine transcendental philosophy. Descartes' conception of philosophy and science, as well as his insistence upon absolute certainty with respect to fundamental principles, strongly parallels Husserl*s own sense of the nature and task of philosophy. But despite the importance of such similarities, which do indeed animate the subsequent lines of advance within transcendental phenomenology, the bond between these two thinkers remains largely a spiritual one. The Husserlian divergance from the Cartesian enterprise occurs early along the path to phenomenology; a transition necessi• tated "... precisely by (phenomenology's) radical devel• opment of Cartesian motifs—to reject nearly all the well- known doctrinal content of the Cartesian philosophy."1 So while it might be claimed that Cartesianism—with its view of philosophy as an all-inclusive science, upon the basis of, and within which, particular sciences can be grounded—and the attendant turn to subjectivity as source of apodicticity, affords the point of departure for Husserl's phenomenology, an even stronger affinity surfaces between Kant and Husserl within the concrete development of the idea of transcendental phenomenology itself. -
How Essential Are Essential Laws Final
1 This paper will appear in Mertens, K. & Guenzler, I. (eds.): Wahrnehmen, Fühlen, Handeln. Phänomenologie im Widerstreit der Methoden. Paderborn: Mentis 2013. As always, comments are very welcome! How Essential are Essential Laws? A Thought Experiment on Physical Things and Their Givenness in Adumbrations Harald A. Wiltsche University of Toronto, Canada/University of Graz, Austria [email protected] Surprisingly enough, the amount of literature on thought experiments (hereinafter referred to as TEs) increased dramatically only within the last two decades. This is surprising because TEs are an integral part of our epistemic practices in virtually all segments of human endeavour. Suppose that you are unsure whether the blue shirt fits the yellow pants. What do you do? You imagine yourself wearing this specific combination. What did Galileo do to refute the Aristotelian law of falling bodies and to establish his own law of free fall? He imagined throwing things from a tower. What did Frank Jackson do to show that physicalism is wrong? He imagined Mary. Within philosophy, TEs seem to be mainly utilized by philosophers from the analytical camp. There, TEs are a widely accepted tool for the analysis of a huge variety of philosophical problems.1 However, so far, no systematic attempts to analyze TEs from a phenomenological perspective have been made.2 This paper is intended as a step towards filling this gap. Although I will only deal with one single philosophical TE, I hope to give at least some insight into the method of thought experimental reasoning. Yet, in doing so, I not only wish to shed some light on the prospects and limits of TEs.
