This book comprises essays on the nature of Aspasius’ commentary, his interpretation of Aristotle, and his own place in the history of thought. The contributions are in English or Italian. Aspasius’ commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics is the earliest ancient commentary on Aristotle of which extensive parts survive in their original form. It is important both for the history of commentary as a genre and for the history of philosophical thought in the first two centuries A.D.; it is also still valuable as what its author intended it to be, an aid in interpreting the Ethics. All three aspects are explored by the essays. The book is not formally a commentary on Aspasius’ commentary; but between them the essays consider the interpretation of numerous problematic or significant passages. Full indices will enable readers quickly to locate discussion of particular parts of Aspasius’ work. This volume of essays will form a natural complement to the first ever translation of Aspasius’ commentary into any modern language, currently in preparation by Paul Mercken.

"Specifically focusing on the relationship between the Eudemian and the Nicomachean Ethics, this collection of essays studies major themes from Aristotle's ethics. This volume builds on a recent revival of interest in Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics, which offers an invaluable complement to the Nicomachean Ethics in the study of the development of Aristotle's ethical ideas. It brings together a series of new studies by leading scholars covering the main points of inquiry raised by the relationship between the two works, exploring their continuities and divergences. At the same time, it showcases a variety of approaches to and perspectives on the main questions posed by Aristotle's ethical thought. Investigating the Relationship Between Aristotle's Eudemian and Nicomachean Ethics is offered as a contribution to long-standing debates over Aristotle's ethical thinking, as well as an inspiration for new approaches, which take both of his surviving ethical treatises seriously. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient philosophy and ethics, particularly Aristotle's two ethics"--

Les années qui précédèrent et suivirent la condamnation du 7 mars 1277 furent parmi les plus difficiles dans l'histoire de l'Université de Paris. Parmi les témoins des événements qui ont bouleversé à cette époque la Faculté des Arts, une place priviligiée doit être accordée à un fragment d'une reportation anonyme d'un cours sur l'Éthique à Nicomaque, contenu dans le manuscrit Paris, BnF, lat. 14698. L'auteur de ce texte - un maître de philosophie écrivant très probablement au début des années 1280 - recherche un difficile équilibre entre le devoir d'expliquer la philosophie d'Aristote et la contrainte de ne pas contredire les dogmes de la foi chrétienne. Ce volume offre une édition intégrale du texte, précédée d'une introduction où sont abordés à la fois les problèmes que pose l'édition scientifique d'une reportatio (sa structure, son rapport avec le déroulement du cours oral, les critères spécifiques requis pour l'établissement du texte d'une reportatio) et les enjeux historiques liés à ce texte ( sa datation et son rapport avec la condamnation de mars 1277, l'utilisation de la Summa theologiae de Thomas d'Aquin, et l'hypothèse de l'identification de l'auteur avec le maître parisien Jacques de Douai).
