    Ética Nicomaquea
    (Prensas de la Universidad de Zaragoza, 2024) Aristóteles; Boeri, Marcelo D.; Rossi, Gabriela
    Desde la Antigüedad (y en buena medida gracias a esta obra de Aristóteles) la ética se constituye como un área específica del saber filosófico. La Ética Nicomaquea establece qué es el bien para el ser humano e indaga las condiciones para lograr formar un carácter bueno y poseer las virtudes (intelectuales y del carácter) propias de un agente moral adecuado. La obra examina, así, temas de interés permanente: la acción, la bondad y maldad prácticas, la responsabilidad, la justicia, la felicidad o prosperidad vital. La vigencia de estas reflexiones se extiende, de hecho, hasta nuestros días a través de diversas corrientes éticas contemporáneas que encuentran en ellas fuente de inspiración. introducción, traducción y notas de Marcelo D. Boeri y Gabriela Rossi.

    Soul and Mind in Greek Thought. Psychological issues in Plato and Aristotle.
    (Springer, 2018) Botter, Barbara; Brickhouse, Thomas C.; Smith, Nicholas D.; Kanayama, Mariko; Kanayama, Yasuhira Y.; Ríos, Iván de los; Costa, Ivana; Boeri, Marcelo D.; Rossi, Gabriela; Echeñique, Javier; Mittelmann, Jorge; Correia, Manuel; Boeri, Marcelo D.; Kanayama, Yasuhira Y.; Mittelmann Prieto, Jorge Eugenio
    This book offers new insights into the workings of the human soul and the philosophical conception of the mind in Ancient Greece. It collects essays that deal with different but interconnected aspects of that unified picture of our mental life shared by all Ancient philosophers who thought of the soul as an immaterial substance. The papers present theoretical discussions on moral and psychological issues ranging from Socrates to Aristotle, and beyond, in connection with modern psychology. Coverage includes moral learning and the fruitfulness of punishment, human motivation, emotions as psychic phenomena, and more. Some of these topics directly stemmed from the Socratic dialectical experience and its tragic outcome, whereas others found their way through a complex history of refinements, disputes, and internal critique. The contributors present the gradual unfolding of these central themes through a close inspection of the relevant Ancient texts. They deliver a wide-ranging survey of some central and mutually related topics. In the process, readers will learn new approaches to Platonic and Aristotelian psychology and action theory. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in Ancient philosophy. Any scholar with a general interest in the history of ideas will also find it a valuable resource
