초록
In several passages in Aristotle’s Ethica Nicomachea he mentions what kind of person is appropriate to take his lecture on political science, the study on how to build the best polis, that is, the most happiest nation. This discussion on the so-called requirements to understand and meaningfully use the contents of Aristotle’s political science can help us to figure out the goal of his lecture on political expertise. Some scholars argue that having the natural excellence without practical wisdom is the only requirement for taking his lecture in question and thereby that the goal of his lecture on it is to provide practical wisdom to the audience who only possess the natural excellence, but lack phronēsis. However, against them, we claim that, according to Aristotle, there are two distinctive requirements for his lecture on political science, the excellence of character and practical wisdom, and that the goal of his lecture on political science is to teach the audience on how to make the best law system to build the best polis rather than to make them phronimos.
Abstract
In several passages in Aristotle’s Ethica Nicomachea he mentions what kind of person is appropriate to take his lecture on political science, the study on how to build the best polis, that is, the most happiest nation. This discussion on the so-called requirements to understand and meaningfully use the contents of Aristotle’s political science can help us to figure out the goal of his lecture on political expertise. Some scholars argue that having the natural excellence without practical wisdom is the only requirement for taking his lecture in question and thereby that the goal of his lecture on it is to provide practical wisdom to the audience who only possess the natural excellence, but lack phronēsis. However, against them, we claim that, according to Aristotle, there are two distinctive requirements for his lecture on political science, the excellence of character and practical wisdom, and that the goal of his lecture on political science is to teach the audience on how to make the best law system to build the best polis rather than to make them phronimos.
