Ethics for Rational Animals - Cagnoli Fiecconi, Dr Elena (Lecturer in Ancient Philosophy, Lecturer in Ancient Philosophy, UCL Department of Greek and Latin)

Ethics for Rational Animals presents a new account of practical wisdom, virtue, and akrasia (acting against one's best judgement) through an original study of the moral psychology at the basis of Aristotle's ethics. It ranges over his works on ethics, psychology, and biology, and defends a novel view concerning Aristotle's intellectualism.
