| Sumario: | The first western Latin commentaries on the Nichomachean Ethics tend to understand their subject in a philosophical context. This paper shows one example, the comparison between Aristotle’s and Macrobius’ classifications of virtues (the latter being a legacy from the philosophical teaching of the twelfth century) in some writings of Parisian Arts Masters from the first half of the thirteenth century. While masters differ in their interpretation of each element in the Macrobian division, they mostly agree in considering the first two degrees from Macrobius (virtutes politicae et puratorie) equivalent to Aristotle's distinction in intellectual and moral virtues (virtutes intellectuales et consuetudinales). |
