A new account of Aristotle s Ethics this book argues for the central importance of the concept of techne or craft in Aristotle s moral theory. Exploring the importance of techne in the Platonic and pre-Platonic intellectual context in which Aristotle was writing Tom Angier here shows that this concept has an important role in Aristotle s Ethics that has rarely been studied in Anglo-American scholarship. Through close-analysis of the primary texts this book uses the focus on techne to systematically critique and renew Aristotelian moral philosophy. Techne in Aristotle s Ethics provides a novel and challenging approach to one of the Ancient World s most enduring intellectual legacies.
