Between the ethereal and the mundane. Metaphysical possibilities and cultural implications of Aristotelian Ethics

Abstract

This work deals with the Aristotelian ethics showing the defining aspects of the practical proposal of the philosopher from Stagira and clarifying the cultural implications of his postulates about a happy life associated to the virtues and the search of the ultimate good as the metaphysical heritage.  It shows the relationship of the Aristotelian ethics and the topic of the Absolute, whether it be Nothing o God himself, and establishes a distinction between the dominant circumstances in the Aristotelian context which influences his moral conclusions.
