The present volume brings together a number of studies, eight in all, dedicated to diverse aspects of Aristotle’s conception of rational action and practical rationality. Two principal motifs account for their thematic unity. The first one is given in the idea that Aristotle’s view is characterized by a fundamental tension between the totalizing orientation of practical rationality, on the one hand, and the situational subjection of human action, on the other. The second one concerns the connection that Aristotle establishes between rational action (praxis) and truth, expressed in the notion of practical truth. The proposed interpretation seeks to show that Aristotle’s conception is not just internally consistent and philosophically interesting. It is also capable of entering into fruitful dialogue with a whole range of modern and contemporary views.
