Ethics, according to this approach, starts from one question and its most immediate answer: "what is the good for human beings?"--"a well-going human life." Ethics thus conceived is broader than moral philosophy. It includes a range of topics in psychology and metaphysics. Plato's Philebus is the ancestor of this approach. Its first premise, defended in Book I of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, is that the final agential good is the good human life. Though Aristotle introduces this premise while analyzing human activities, it is absent from approaches in the theory of action that self-identify as Aristotelian. This absence, Vogt argues, is a deep and far-reaching mistake, one that can be traced back to Elizabeth Anscombe's influential proposals. And yet, the book is Anscombian in spirit. It engages with ancient texts in order to contribute to philosophy today, and it takes questions about the human mind to be prior to, and relevant to, substantive normative matters. In this spirit, Desiring the Good puts forward a new version of the Guise of the Good, namely that desire to have one's life go well shapes and sustains mid- and small-scale motivations. A theory of good human lives, it is argued, must make room for a plurality of good lives. Along these lines, the book lays out a non-relativist version of Protagoras's Measure Doctrine and defends a new kind of realism about good human lives-- Ethics Conduct of life Conduct of life (OCoLC)fst00874563 fast Ethics (OCoLC)fst00915833 fast Strebensethik gnd Das Gute gnd https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780190692476.001.0001/oso-9780190692476 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780190692476.001.0001/oso-9780190692476 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 University Press Scholarship Online E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT NELA1451804 IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Vogt Katja Maria 1968- author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780190692476.001.0001/oso-9780190692476 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780190692476.001.0001/oso-9780190692476 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 508628512
