Abstract: |
Aristotle takes up the problems that concerned Plato and, completely changing the perspective and the basis for dealing with them, builds his own philosophy. He turns specifically to the human being in existence, distinguishes the boundaries between principles of theoretical and principles of practical knowledge, and develops his own ''down-to-earth'' doctrine of the way we exist and orient our choices and action. In this view of things, the good and the beautiful are redefined in a way that mitigates Platonic idealizations and absolutisms and hands the baton to later ethics and aesthetics.
