Aristotle’s Method in Ethics: Philosophy in Practice delves into the philosophical method employed by Aristotle in his ethical treatises. Author Joseph Karbowski challenges traditional interpretations and proposes a new understanding of Aristotle’s approach, emphasizing that Aristotle is indeed aiming for scientific knowledge in ethics while acknowledging its practical application. The book is structured into two parts: Part I explores Aristotle’s broader conception of philosophy, focusing on its pursuit of epistēmē (scientific knowledge) and flexible inquiry methods. Part II applies this interpretation to Aristotle’s ethical writings, illustrating how his method is both scientifically rigorous and practically oriented. This work reveals the compatibility between Aristotle’s scientific aspirations and his recognition of ethics as a practical discipline concerned with precision and practical wisdom (phronēsis). Published by Cambridge University Press on January 3, 2019, this insightful examination offers readers a fresh perspective on one of the foundational thinkers in Western philosophy.
