Aristotle on the Apparent Good: Perception, Phantasia, Thought, and Desire - Oxford Aristotle Studies Series
Moss, Jessica (Balliol College, University of Oxford)
Jessica Moss presents a bold and controversial account of Aristotle's moral psychology. She argues that on Aristotle's view things appear good to us in virtue of a psychological capacity responsible for quasi-perceptual phenomena: phantasia ('imagination'). Her interpretation restricts the role of reason in ethics, and prioritises pleasure instead.
