Abstract

(The attached paper is in fact a longish abstract. Here is a SHORT abstract)

This paper considers some connections between NE I and NE X.7-8. I argue that the two are consistent, and that Aristotle proposes two dominant ends, one for the philosophical life, another for the political life.

Notes

Richard Kraut presented “Intrinsic goods and dominant ends in Aristotle” at the meeting of the Society with the Central Division of the American Philosophical Association in May 1987. For a considerably more extensive presentation of the views summarized here see his Aristotle on the Human Good. Princeton 1991.
