Entrevista a Enrico Berti

Abstract

In this interview E. Berti speaks about his early philosophical career, his rediscovery of Aristotle’s dialectics as based on common beliefs (the endoxa), the importance of Aristotle’s practical philosophy and his concept of the relation between ethics and politics. The modern notion of technique, which seems to have grown in importance in the last century, seems incapable of handling basic and essential metaphysical issues, and this is why we still need metaphysics today.
