The Concept of Ethos: Aristotle and the Contemporary Ethical Debate

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The problem of the self has recently regained a wide interest in the philosophical panorama. The \nneed to rethink the agent has then encouraged the rediscovery of Ancient Philosophy. Focusing \non Aristotelian practical philosophy, this paper aims to demonstrate the intrinsic circularity \nexisting between the agent and his context. To give evidence of this theory, it will be necessary \nto investigate the extensive concept of ethos, the meanings of which embrace both individual \nand collective dimension. Moreover, this itinerary through the Aristotelian thought will be the \noccasion for putting the rebirth of interest towards Ancient Philosophy into question.
