Abstract
The aim of this paper is to highlight the nature and the main goals of Book VII within the general project and structure of the Nicomachean Ethics. To do so, the paper is divided into the following parts: first, I identify the main target of this Aristotelian opus; second, I summarize the problems the author raises in the first six books; third, I shed light on the nature of both virtues and vices, the two primary objects of study of the first six books; fourth, I try to underline the link between Book VII and the previous six books; fifth, I explain two key concepts of Book VII, namely akrasia and enkrateia; sixth, I explain how pleasure (the second main theme of Book VII) is linked to akrasia and enkrateia in Book VII. Summarizing, I defend the idea that Book VII plays a crucial role in Nicomachean Ethics, offering a comprehensive and realistic representation of human praxis and psychology.
