Abstract

An interpretation is offered of the Aristotelian concept of “practical truth” in the wake of Anscombe’s very interesting exegesis. Her own interpretation is considered and its merits noted, but a question is raised as to its plausibility as an account of what Aristotle himself intended in speaking of “truth that is practical”.

Aristotle makes the controversial claim that it is impossible to have all the ethical virtues–bravery, temperance, generosity, magnificence, magna-nimity, the virtue concerned with honor on a small scale, mildness, truth-fulness, wit, friendliness, and justice–fully without having practical wisdom (phronesis), and that it is impossible to have practical wisdom without having all of the Aristotelian ethical virtues fully (NE VI. 13.1144 b30–1145a1).
