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.
This unpublished work is the written version of a paper presented
to philosophy teachers which develops some of the ideas of his
work 'El interés por la verdad'. According to Millán-Puelles’ view,
our interest in truth is twofold: cognitive and communicative. This
paper deals with the first of these two interests, our interest in
truth, and in particular some of its moral aspects.
