This volume presents up-to-date insights into the ethical theories of Aristotle’s followers, beginning with his colleagues Theophrastus and Eudemus and covering a broad range of figures, topics and applications up to the Imperial Roman period.

The ethical work of the Peripatetic school in antiquity included a number of authors who engaged with Aristotle’s own legacy as well as emerging Hellenistic schools of philosophy, particularly Stoicism and Epicureanism. Much of the evidence for these views is fragmentary; this book guides readers through Peripatetic ethics in Theophrastus’ work and beyond, encompassing a wide selection of philosophers, works and topics. It explores two controversial ethical treatises attributed to Aristotle but arguably not by him (the Eudemian Ethics and the Magna Moralia); fresh looks at animal and plant ethics in the School of Aristotle; four studies of various aspects of the ethical thought of Theophrastus; and another four studies on Peripatetic ethical thought after Theophrastus, from Hieronymus of Rhodes in the 3rd century BCE to Aspasius in the 2nd century CE.

Peripatetic Ethics in Theophrastus and After is of interest to students and scholars of ancient Greek philosophy and ethics, particularly Aristotelian ethics and other Peripatetics.
