Actus, opus, habitus: Ethical Terminology Discussions in the First Reception of the Nichomaquean Ethics in the Middle of the 13th Century
Abstract
This article shows the effects of terminological oscillations of Nicomachean Ethics’ first translations on the first commentators in the Latin West. Here we analyze the dynamics of assimilation between the terms actus, opus and habitus, which opens the possibility, in some anonymous commentators, of an interesting link between two types of Aristotelian teleology.Downloads
