A close and selective commentary on Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics, offering a novel interpretation of Aristotles teachings on the relation between reason and moral virtue.What does it mean to live a good life or a happy life, and what part does reason play in the quest for fulfillment? Lorraine Smith Pangle shows how Aristotles arguments for virtue as the core of happiness and for reason as the guide to virtue emerge in response to Socratess paradoxical claim that virtue is knowledge and vice is ignorance.Against Socrates, Aristotle does justice to the effectual truth of moral responsibilitythat our characters do indeed depend on our own voluntary actions. But he also incorporates Socratic insights into the close interconnection of passion and judgment and the way passions and bad habits work not to overcome knowledge that remains intact but to corrupt the knowledge one thinks one has. Reason and Character presents fresh interpretations of Aristotles teaching on the character of moral judgment and moral choice, on the way reason finds the meanespecially in justiceand on the relation between practical and theoretical wisdom.
