Ética y racionalidad práctica Argumentación, narratividad y emociones en la tradición neoaristotélica

Abstract

Ethics, as a branch of practical philosophy, is the knowledge that arises from the relationship we establish with the world we inhabit, which is why it contains the keys to understand and guide human behavior in society. Professor David Camilo Moreno Foglia, through a rereading of the ancient Aristotelian tradition and a reflection on contemporary production, raises the need to investigate the specificities of ethics and its role in the construction of an ethos mediated by actions, narratives and the relationship with the passions that arise therefrom. For this reason, this text aims to investigate how ethics, rhetoric and poetics operate and relate to each other in the Aristotelian system, within the framework of the conceptual relationship between logos, ethos and pathos, in order to postulate and bring to the present a complex notion of rationality proper to ethical knowledge. In other words, this book seeks to share with its readers the social and practical function of philosophy in times of moral upheaval.
