Rezensionen Carlo Natali (ed.): Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics, Book VII. Symposium Aristotelicum. Oxford: Oxford University Press 2009, viii + 296 pp. 1. Introduction In July 2005 the Symposium Aristotelicum met on a secluded island in the Venetian lagoon to discuss Book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics (NE). Ten papers were presented that together comprised a discursive and sequential commentary upon its fourteen chapters. (Authors other than those whom I shall mention by name below are Sarah Broadie and Teun Tieleman.) Carlo Natali recalls “lively and intense discussion” among the thirty or so participants through “torrid weather” that defeated even the air conditioning of an officers’ mess. Less privileged Aristotelians may exclaim “O that we were there!”; but perusing the resulting collection in one’s own time (and not in a heat wave) will be found a richly compensatory experience. The contributors largely keep to their assignments, though there are inevitably crossreferences (and John Cooper enlivens his exemplary treatment of VII.1–2 by devoting a barbed footnote, 23, n. 33, to a crux in VII.3). Readers of the Greek text of the NE will know that there are two different numberings of chapters within books, one most familiar from Bekker, the other from http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie de Gruyter
