Description

According to Aristotle, moral goodness characterises agents, and only vicariously, their actions. Actions are implemented through the use of external objects, the so called external ‘goods’. I will examine Aristotle’s account of external goods and argue that it is an instance of what we may call a theory of ‘extended values’, which come to be embodied in these objects. I will then indicate how this theory applies beyond moral values in the social domain.
