Abstract

The present article provides an account of the analysis and discussion of a thesis defended by professor Alejandro Vigo, concerning the Aristotelian theory of practical fruth. This review gains special weight since current theories in the field of Ethics lead, more often than not, to scepticism and ethical relativism, with the consequent weakening and ensuing frustration of practical and moral thought.
