Aristotle is one of the greatest advocates of the intensely examined research field referred to as “Virtue Ethics”. This study forms part of this interpretative framework. It recovers the meaning of three virtues related to knowledge of the particular: Judgment (γνώμη), Understanding (σύνησις) and Intuitive Reason (νοῦς). A careful reading of the pages devoted to these virtues in Book VI of the Nichomachean Ethics (NE) confirms that Aristotle not only has a doctrine of ethically relevant perception but also one of ethical perception.
