In this paper, I investigate Aristotle's theory of passions, claiming that he did not develop a detailed and comprehensive theory of them, but rather he dealt with this issue in different contexts according to different methodological points of view. For instance, in his "Rhetoric", Aristotle confines himself to a descriptive analysis of passions; on the contrary, in his "Nicomachean Ethis", which represents his major work in this field, Aristotle's inquiry into passions focuses upon their moral implications.

Abstract
In this paper, I investigate Aristotle's theory of passions, claiming that he did not develop a detailed and comprehensive theory of them, but rather he dealt with this issue in different contexts according to different methodological points of view. For instance, in his "Rhetoric", Aristotle confines himself to a descriptive analysis of passions; on the contrary, in his "Nicomachean Ethis", which represents his major work in this field, Aristotle's inquiry into passions focuses upon their moral implications.File in questo prodotto:
