Aristóteles, aristotélico, aristotelismo, ética, filosofia política, metodologiaResumo
Este artigo apresenta dois argumentos principais: 1) os significados de termos como “(neo-) aristotélico” ou “aristotelismo” tornaram-se extremamente ambíguos na actual literatura de ética e filosofia política. Estes termos tornaramse confusos, perdendo o seu carácter descritivo ou explanatório. Parece que para as questões seguintes não há uma resposta adequada: quem é que, de facto, é um “aristotélico” ou “neo-arristotélico”, em que medida e por que razões? O que significa realmente “(neo-) aristotélico”? 2) o segundo argumento, para fornecer algumas pistas que permitam responder adequadamente a estas questões, tenta definir as características metodológicas essenciais de uma investigação ética/política aristotélica. Para ser designado como “aristotélico”, o investigador deve partir das peculiaridades metodológicas da filosofia prática de Aristóteles que fazem dela uma filosofia prática “aristotélica” e não “kantiana” ou “hegeliana”. Na segunda parte deste artigo estas peculiaridades são definidas como prudência metodológica e dialéctica médica, que são os aspectos característicos da forma aristotélica de investigação em ética e filosofia política.
