But in each case, he is careful to show that Platonic themes -- such as quasi-immortalisation and the practical relevance of theria -- have their Aristotelian analogues. Happiness, being the aim of human affairs, must belong to the second type of activity. Thomas Bnatoul and Mauro Bonazzi's stated goal in their edited edition Theoria, Praxis, and the Contemplative Life after Plato and Aristotle is to reconstruct the history of the topic of theoria and praxis in detail. 141.73000 784.65000 l The difference between them is that the virtuous agent must also be a philosopher, for only the philosopher 'lives looking toward nature and toward the divine, and, just like some good steersman fastening the first principles of [his] life to eternal and steadfast things, he goes forth and lives according to himself' (146).[4]. Happiness is also self-sufficient, so it is indeed the highest good (Aristotle 7). /Parent 1 0 R /I1 38 0 R Aristotle's answer is that, properly understood, the two are not in competition with each other. A novel exploration of Aristotle's views on theory and practice, this volume will interest scholars and students of both ancient Greek ethics and natural philosophy. According to Aristotle, divine and human contemplation cannot be type-identical activities.2 This way of responding to the argument from divine contemplation closely parallels Aristotle's explicit response to a structurally similar argument dealing with animals, as Section 5 argues. As Aristotle puts things at De Anima 415b6-7, through reproduction an organism 'remains not itself, but such as itself, not one in number, but one in species'. The project as a whole is under contract with Cambridge University Press as a monograph called Aristotle on Happiness, Virtue, and Wisdom. Although he does not give us much detail about the universal and invariant "ethical laws" that supposedly make up this science, he does say that they include the definition of the human good, i.e., happiness.
