Silogismo prático, prohairesis e deliberação em Aristóteles.

Abstract

In the first place, this work selects, presents, and evaluates some contemporary interpretations about the practical syllogism in Aristotle's philosophy of action. In the next step, the definitions of prohairesis and deliberation are both analyzed in detail. Finally, the results obtained by the preceding analysis are applied to discuss the question about the general form of practical syllogism. Concomitantly with this discussion about the general form, we touch on some related fundamental points about the nature and function of an Aristotelian practical syllogism.
