Dr Tom Angier 
Techne in Aristotle »s Ethics [PDF ebook] 
Crafting the Moral Life

A new account of Aristotle »s Ethics, this book argues for the central importance of the concept of  »techne » or  »craft » in Aristotle »s moral theory.
Exploring the importance of  »techne » in the Platonic and pre-Platonic intellectual context in which Aristotle was writing, Tom Angier here shows that this concept has an important role in Aristotle »s Ethics that has rarely been studied in Anglo-American scholarship. Through close-analysis of the primary texts, this book uses the focus on  »techne » to systematically critique and renew Aristotelian moral philosophy.
Techne in Aristotle »s  »Ethics » provides a novel and challenging approach to one of the Ancient World »s most enduring intellectual legacies.
