In this book, Ann Ward explores Aristotle?s Nicomachean Ethics, focusing on the progressive
structure of the argument. Aristotle begins by giving an account of moral virtue from
the perspective of the moral agent, only to find that the account itself highlights
fundamental tensions within the virtues that push the moral agent into the realm of
intellectual virtue. However, the existence of an intellectual realm separate from
the moral realm can lead to lack of self-restraint. Aristotle, Ward argues, locates
political philosophy and the experience of friendship as possible solutions to the
problem of lack of self-restraint, since political philosophy thinks about the human
things in a universal way, and friendship grounds the pursuit of the good which is
happiness understood as contemplation. Ward concludes that Aristotle?s philosophy
of friendship points to the embodied intellect of timocratic friends and mothers in
their activity of mothering as engaging in the highest form of contemplation and thus
living the happiest life
