项目摘要

The goal of this project is to offer the first comprehensive examination of the earliest surviving commentary on Book X of the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle, composed by Michael of Ephesus in Greek in the 12th century, as well as to provide the first-ever translation of this commentary into a modern language (English). This examination is motivated by questions of both a systematic and a historical nature. Regarding the former, we shall investigate the insights and responses Michael offers to a number of interpretative and philosophical problems that emerge in the course of Nicomachean Ethics Book X, notably the issues surrounding the concepts of pleasure, contemplation, and the happy life, all of which remain at the core of current scholarship on Aristotelian ethics. A particular emphasis will be placed on how Michael understands the nature of the intellect and its activity, contemplation, and the relationship of this activity to ethical and political virtues and happiness. Regarding the historical side of the project, we shall be thoroughly reevaluating the impact that Neoplatonic philosophy has had on his understanding of the Nicomachean Ethics. While there has been some recent scholarly work that has managed to show that there is a greater amount of Neoplatonic influence on Michael and in particular on his ethical theory than was previously thought, the full extent of this influence has yet to be established. This is especially true with respect to the impact that the writings of Plotinus had on Michael. For although Plotinus is the only Neoplatonic philosopher that Michael refers to by name, previous studies have failed to identify the point of reference in the Enneads correctly, thus preventing them from properly evaluating the extent of direct Plotinian influence on Michaels thought. A central concern of this project is to evaluate the internal coherence of his comments on pleasure, contemplation and happiness, and so to establish a comprehensive account of this domain of his ethics. The English translation, accompanied by a lengthy introduction and notes, has already been commissioned to appear in the very prestigious Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series (Richard Sorabji, editor).

这个项目的目标是提供第一个全面的审查最早的幸存的评论第十册的尼各马可伦理学的亚里士多德，由迈克尔以弗所在希腊在12世纪世纪，以及提供有史以来第一次翻译成现代语言（英语）的评论。这一审查的动机是系统性和历史性的问题。关于前者，我们将探讨迈克尔提供的见解和反应，以解释和哲学问题，出现在尼各马可伦理学第十册的过程中，特别是围绕着快乐，沉思和幸福生活的概念，所有这些仍然是当前学术界的核心对亚里士多德伦理学的问题。一个特别的重点将放在迈克尔如何理解智力的性质和它的活动，沉思，以及这种活动的关系，道德和政治美德和幸福。关于这个项目的历史方面，我们将彻底重新评估新柏拉图哲学对他理解尼各马可伦理学的影响。虽然有一些最近的学术工作，已设法表明，有更多的新柏拉图主义的影响，迈克尔，特别是对他的伦理理论比以前认为，这种影响的全面程度尚未确定。关于普罗提诺的著作对米迦勒的影响，尤其如此。因为尽管普罗提诺是迈克尔提到的唯一一位新柏拉图哲学家，但以前的研究未能正确地确定《九首诗》中的参考点，从而使他们无法正确地评估普罗提诺对迈克尔思想的直接影响程度。这个项目的一个中心问题是评估他对快乐，沉思和幸福的评论的内部一致性，从而建立一个全面的帐户，他的伦理学的这一领域。英文译本，伴随着冗长的介绍和注释，已经被委托出现在非常有声望的亚里士多德系列古代评论家（理查德索拉布吉，编辑）。
