Logos, Moral Qualities, and Human Nature: Apprehension, Communication, Community, and Conflict

This is the recording of my presentation at the 17th Aristotle and the Aristotelian Tradition conference, hosted at Marquette University. It includes the Q&A and discussion from the session as well. Here is the abstract of the presentation: "Aristotle notes in Politics book 1 that possession of logos opens up significantly expanded ranges of apprehension (aisthēsis) for human beings by comparison to other animals. Other animals register and signal the painful and the pleasurable. Human beings do as well, but also apprehend the useful and harmful, just and unjust, the good and the bad generally, and “all the others”, which would include the beautiful (or noble) and the ugly (or base). These are not simply qualities we register and communicate, but are also the bases for community or sharing (koinonia). In Rhetoric book 1, these opposed qualities are also what we human beings differ over and argue about. These paired opposites are also referenced as modalities of goodness or badness at multiple points in the Nicomachean Ethics. Aristotle is not unique in noting the importance of these moral qualities in human motivation, communication, community, argumentation, and conflict. References to, and distinctions between, the just and unjust, beautiful and ugly, useful and harmful, pleasant and painful, and good and bad are discussed in a number of Platonic dialogues. These paired moral qualities show up in the much later Stoic philosopher Epictetus’ works as “preconceptions” (proleipseis). Clarifying and properly applying these is one of philosophy’s main tasks and functions in his view. My paper will bring together and interpret relevant passages from Aristotle’s works to develop a picture of the interconnected activities centered by moral qualities humans engage in, unfolding from our nature as rational and communicative animals (i.e. animals possessing logos). Plato’s and Epictetus’ viewpoints on the importance of these moral qualities to human life, motivation, community, culture, and conflict will also be discussed, providing points of comparison and contrast between Platonist, Aristotelian, and Stoic traditions. I will also examine several examples of how human beings come to differ over meaning and application of these moral qualities, getting them more or less right or wrong, and practical consequences that result."
