Chapter 2: A Developmentalist Interpretation of the Function Argument
In this chapter, May begins to build her developmentalist interpretation of the Nicomachean Ethics. Central to this interpretation is an understanding of Aristotle’s notions of final causality and hypothetical necessity. Also central to this interpretation is an understanding of the human being’s motivational system and the different types of desires that are involved goal oriented or teleological activity. This chapter focuses on final causality as it operates in both human action and biological development.
