Virtue with Aristotle: Recovering an Ancient Ethical Theory for Our Time

这个项目旨在展示亚里士多德的美德理论如何指导我们的个人和集体在充满挑战的时代过上美好的人类生活。这个项目期望对亚里士多德的美德概念在他所应用的人类活动的所有三个领域(道德行为、理论认知和工艺与艺术生产)进行第一次全面的研究，并展示其与当代伦理理论和实践的相关性。这个项目的预期结果包括加深对美德和繁荣概念的理解，以及它们在亚里士多德伦理著作中的历史根源。这应该会带来巨大的好处，比如建立我们的集体韧性。

This project aims to show how Aristotle’s theory of virtue can guide our individual and collective attempts to live good human lives in challenging times. This project expects to produce the first comprehensive study of Aristotle’s concept of virtue in all three areas of human activity in which he applies it (moral action, theoretical cognition, and craft and artistic production) and to show its relevance for contemporary ethical theory and practice. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced understanding of the concepts of virtue and flourishing and their historical roots in Aristotle’s ethical writings. This should provide significant benefits, such as building our collective resilience.
