Abstract

The study of 20th-century philosophical thought could prove to be of great interest if read in the light of its ethical-anthropological demands. In this sense, he cannot but turn with great interest to the philosophy of the American Martha Nussbaum. Specifically, the name of this philosopher should recall that cultural context of “analytical” philosophy. The intention of this contribution will be to seek the theoretical nodes of the renewed post-modern philosophical interest in the thought of the ancients and especially towards Aristotle. This is to the extent that such a look is the necessary foundation to support contemporary reflection on moral action.
