  • 7 Aristotle on Greatness of Soul
    7 Aristotle on Greatness of Soul Roger Crisp n the recent revival of interest in Aristotelian ethics, relatively little attention has been paid to the virtue of greatness of soul (megalopsuchia). This is partly Ibecause of the focus on the more structurally central concepts of Aristotle’s theory, in particular happiness (eudaimonia) and virtue (aret¯e). But in fact a study of greatness of soul can reveal important insights into the overall shape of Aristotelian ethics, including the place of external goods and luck in the virtuous life, and the significance of “the noble” (to kalon). Further, Aristotle describes the great-souled person in more detail than any other, and calls greatness of soul a “sort of crown of the virtues” (NE IV.3.1124a1–2). Many have found aspects of the portrait of the great-souled person in the Nicomachean Ethics repellent or absurd, but that is no good reason for the student of Aristotle to shy away from it. In this chapter, I shall elucidate Aristotle’s account of greatness of soul, addressing some puzzles internal to that account and bringing out its place in, and implications for, the ethics of Aristotle and of those modern writers influenced by him. Greatness of Soul as a Virtue To understand greatness of soul as an Aristotelian virtue requires first understand- ing Aristotle’s conception of virtue itself. Aristotle distinguishes virtues into two classes – intellectual virtues and virtues of character – corresponding to distinct aspects of the human soul (NE I.13). Greatness of soul is a virtue of character, though, like all such virtues, it requires its possessor to have the intellectual virtue of practical wisdom (phron¯esis; NE VI.13).

  • Roger Crisp While Several Excellent Books on Sidgwick Have Been
    book reviews 233 Roger Crisp The Cosmos of Duty: Henry Sidgwick’s Methods of Ethics (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015), 234 pp. isbn: 9780198716358. Hardback: £35.00. While several excellent books on Sidgwick have been published in recent years, The Cosmos of Duty is the first comprehensive study of Sidgwick’s masterpiece, The Methods of Ethics (me). This book will obviously be of interest to Sidgwick scholars and those who do research on the history of ethics. But given the con- tinuing relevance of Sidgwick’s arguments, as well as Crisp’s fruitful engage- ment with current literature on topics such as non-naturalism, hedonism, and virtue ethics, anyone with a general interest in moral philosophy would benefit from reading this book. To alleviate problems presented by the complicated structure of the Meth- ods, Crisp adopts a thematic approach; each chapter is devoted to a topic (or topics) explored in various places throughout Sidgwick’s treatise. The book begins with a helpful elucidation of the general framework of Sidgwick’s project, including his views on metaethics, moral concepts, and the aims of philosophical ethics (Chapter 1). Crisp argues that while Sidgwick might have done better to frame the book as about ultimate principles rather than meth- ods, he was right to focus on the triad of utilitarianism, deontology, and ego- ism (pp. 21–28). One of the chief merits of the book is its detailed coverage of parts of the Methods that do not always receive adequate attention, such as Sidgwick’s discussion of free will (Chapter 2) and his accounts of virtue and the individual virtues respectively (Chapters 5 and 6).

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Shakespeare’s Globe announces full casting for Edward II and After Edward 18 December 2018 Shakespeare’s Globe is delighted to announce the full cast for Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II, directed by Nick Bagnall, and for Tom Stuart’s new play After Edward, directed by Brendan O’Hea. Examining ancestral relationships and notions of identity, sexuality and power, Marlowe’s Edward II sees King Edward recall his lover, Gaveston, from banishment, setting in motion a chain of events that culminate in some of the most shocking scenes in early modern theatre. Tom Stuart’s new play After Edward, written specifically for the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in response to Edward II, sees Edward return to the stage alone, bloodied and confused. He has no idea where he is, or how he got here, but he does have an ominous feeling that something is wrong. Performed by the same cast of actors, Edward II opens in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse on Thursday 7 February, followed by After Edward on Thursday 21 March. Tom Stuart, writer of After Edward, will play the titular role in both productions. Tom has appeared as an actor at Shakespeare’s Globe in many productions including The Broken Heart, The Changeling (2015), Romeo & Juliet (2009) and Much Ado About Nothing (2007). He performed in the Battersea Arts Centre’s production of Edward II in 2008. His screen credits include Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, People Just Do Nothing (BBC), Psychobitches (Sky Arts), and A Good Year. Tom has been working in film, television and theatre as an actor for 14 years.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION Symposium on David Phillips's Sidgwickian Ethics Henry Sidgwick's the Methods of Ethics Has Many Admirers. In
    1 INTRODUCTION Symposium on David Phillips’s Sidgwickian Ethics Henry Sidgwick’s The Methods of Ethics has many admirers. In the foreword to the Hackett edition of the book, John Rawls claims that of the works devoted to defending classical utilitarianism The Methods of Ethics is “the most philosophically profound.” More recently, in On What Matters, Derek Parfit states that The Methods of Ethics is the best book on ethics ever written, since it contains “the largest number of true and important claims.” Despite these accolades, there exist only a small number of attempts to systematically engage with the ethical doctrines in The Methods of Ethics, including F. H. Hayward’s The Ethical Philosophy of Sidgwick: Nine Essays, Critical and Expository, chapter six of C. D. Broad’s Five Types of Ethical Theory, and J. B. Schneewind’s Sidgwick’s Ethics and Victorian Moral Philosophy. Each of these rewards repeated study, but they are no longer current. In the nearly four decades since Schneewind’s book was written, there have been many innovations in philosophical ethics. In addition, a good number of excellent article- and chapter-length discussions of specific doctrines in Sidgwick have appeared, as has Bart Schultz’s monumental achievement, Henry Sidgwick: Eye of the Universe. An Intellectual Biography, that treats of Sidgwick’s life and entire corpus. This has for some time represented an opportunity for a new systematic book-length treatment of Sidgwick’s ethics and its relation to contemporary work in meta-ethics and normative ethics. David Phillips’s newly published Sidgwickian Ethics (2011) has exploited this opportunity.
