Synopsis "Magna Moralia (in Spanish)"

La clave para entender el problema moral en Aristóteles está en el estudio de sus tres tratados de ética: ‰tica nicomaquea, ‰tica eudemia y el que ahora presentamos, Magna moralia, también llamado Gran ‰tica, que no es simplemente una colección de extractos de los otros dos tratados, sino una magistral síntesis, bajo la forma de una breve serie de tratados.Aristóteles nació en Estagira en 384 y murió en Calcis en 322 a. C. A la muerte de su padre se trasladó a Atenas, en donde siguió las lecciones de Platón en la Academia. Fue preceptor de Alejandro Magno, al que infundió la admiración por la cultura griega y el aprecio de la investigación científica. Vuelto a Atenas fundó la escuela del Liceo y escribió la mayor parte de sus obras.'Una razón para volver a la ética de Aristóteles es estudiar lo mucho que dista su perspectiva ética de la nuestra. No es descabellado decir que hoy en día vivimos sin una moralidad coherente y coercitiva', opinó Jonathan Lear, máximo conocedor de la obra del Estagirita.'

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
