Methodological principles governing Aristotelian Metaphysics and Ethics
Description
It is an ironic if not troublesome fact that philosophy, which has traditionally
considered itself the foundational science of all sciences, is still very much in doubt
regarding the nature of its subject matter, the kinds of methods it employs and the
status of its knowledge claims. W hether or not such difficulties can be entirely
overcome, we ought to at least continue the attempt to resolve them. One possible
path toward this end is to consider what unites as opposed to what divides philosophy.
Within this essay, I examine the methodological relationship between metaphysics
and ethics through consideration and reinterpretation of the concept of ‘convertibility’
as first conceived within the works of A ristotle and later among the medieval
scholastics. According to this view, to say that “x is” and “x is good” is to assert not
a real but a conceptual distinction inasmuch as both terms are mutually interchangeable
(convertible) with respect to the subject. Three methodological principles governing
union of these two philosophical branches of knowledge are thereafter identified.
Following this, I examine the possible ways in which these principles may be applied
to consideration of the nature of philosophy and the unity of knowledge.
