Prep Questions Set#22 Due: Tuesday, 12/10
Please take a few minutes to complete the course evaluation for PHIL 305. Your feedback is very important to me. Thanks!
Read Nicomachean Ethics X.7, 8 (920-5).
1. We examined the virtue associated with the rationally calculating part of rational soul (namely “intelligence”, phrônêsis) that is developed in Bk. VI. Describe the virtue associated with the scientific part of rational soul, as it is developed here in Bk. X.
2. What do you make of Aristotle’s claim that “a human being’s complete happiness [is the activity of study] if it receives a complete span of life”? How does this square with the rest of the Ethics?
