Aristotelian Metaphysics of Pleasure
Keywords:
Activity, Aristotle, Metaphysics, PleasureAbstract
Aristotle offers in books VII and X of the Nicomachean Ethics two different treatments of pleasure that, far from being in contradiction, are different approaches, and they allow us to analyse the nature of pleasure in two ways: as to which metaphysical conditions have the pleasurable activities and as to what is pleasure considered just as pleasure. This article tries to explain the relation between pleasure and activity and to understand the metaphysical category of pleasure. How does pleasure accompany perfect activity?
