John M. Cooper is Stuart Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University.
Reason and Human Good in Aristotle opens up issues of
interpretation which are as alive today as when it originally
appeared. After almost two decades of extraordinary influence, this
succinct book remains a 'must' for any serious bibliography of
Aristotle's Ethics . --Sarah Broadie, Princeton University
Cooper's careful and detailed treatment of deliberation and the
content of good deliberation brought scholarship on Aristotle's
moral philosophy to a new level of sophistication, and his book
remains essential reading for anyone who is grappling with
Aristotle's complex views about these fundamental issues. --Richard
Kraut, Northwestern University
A sophisticated and illuminating study of central questions about
Aristotle's views on practical reason and the ultimate good.
Cooper's three chapters . . . examine familiar exegetical puzzles
in a fresh and challenging way; but they also . . . raise new and
fruitful questions about the philosophical merits and implications
of Aristotle's theories. . . . He writes vigorously and lucidly,
with both scholarly rigor and philosophical imagination. --T. H.
Irwin in Archiv fur Geschichte der Philosophie
