Jacob Aristotle Livres

Aristote n'entend pas établir des règles pour les enfants, les esclaves, les ouvriers manuels. Il ne s'adresse qu'à des hommes libres, réfléchis, ayant fait de la pratique des vertus une habitude consciente, à tous ceux qui sont doués de raison active. Le sage, tel qu'il l'envisage, est humain, tout dévoué à la cité, mais il sait prendre plaisir à la vie, en apprécier exactement les biens; il se haussera davantage encore le jour où, dans une cité capable de favoriser l'exercice de la pensée pure, il pourra lui aussi se consacrer à la contemplation, but dernier de la sagesse. Ne risque-t-il pas de perdre de vue les nécessités de l'action ? Il ne les a pas oubliées. Il leur a accordé la part qu'elles méritent, puisqu'elles sont comme la base sur laquelle il appuie son effort.
