“…Illustrations of the variety of definitions include Moberg's (1999) equating virtuousness with some of the Big Five personality attributes-namely, agreeableness and conscientiousness of managers in organizations-or Ewin's (1995) proposal that virtuousness is exemplified by the persuasive ability and influence techniques of salespersons. Sison (2006) associated virtuousness with the content of speech (logos), character traits (ethos), and emotional disposition (pathos) in the service of persuasion and governance, and Fowers (2005Fowers ( , 2009 …”

“…Como esa definición de felicidad está centrada en la plenitud y el cumplimiento, es distinta de la concepción hedonista de felicidad (el estado de experimentar más placeres que dolores). La tarea que implica el enfoque eudaimónico sobre la felicidad utiliza normalmente términos como "florecimiento" (Fowers, 2005), "funcionamiento óptimo" (King, Eells & Burton, 2004), "la actualización de los potenciales humanos" (Ryan & Deci, 2001) o "el cumplimiento en el vivir" (Waterman, 1993) para describir tal concepto.…”

ResumenEl enfoque ético de Aristóteles se plantea como una forma útil para comprender el papel que las artes marciales juegan en la vida del artista marcial. El filósofo neo-aristotélico Alasdair MacIntyre, en su obra clásica After Virtue [Tras la virtud], introduce el concepto de práctica eudaimónica, una forma de actividad social en la cual la búsqueda de la excelencia en la práctica tiene como resultado que el practicante, además, se convierte en mejor persona. Se argumenta que las artes marciales pueden ser descritas como tales prácticas. Este enfoque reconcilia una amplia gama de perspectivas divergentes sobre artes marciales y describe coherentemente cómo el entrenamiento del artista marcial puede contribuir a una alta funcionalidad de las propias relaciones y roles sociales, conectando las artes marciales con el proceso global de convertirse en un ser humano moralmente excelente a través del desarrollo de las virtudes. Palabras clave: filosofía neo-aristotélica, virtud, telos, eudaimonia, aretê.The Aristotelian Philosophy of the Martial Arts Abstract: Aristotle's approach to ethics is proposed as a useful way to understand the role that the martial arts play in the life of the martial artist. Neo-Aristotelian philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, in his classic work After Virtue, introduces the concept of a eudaimonic practice, a form of social activity in which pursuing excellence in the practice results in the practitioner also becoming a better person. It is argued that the martial arts can best be described as such a practice. This approach reconciles a broad range of divergent perspectives on the martial arts, and coherently describes how training as a martial artist can contribute to high levels of functioning in one's relationships and social roles, connecting the martial arts to the overall process of becoming a morally-excellent human being through growth in the virtues. Key words: neo-Aristotelian Philosophy, virtue, telos, eudaimonia, aretê.

“…In this way, the midrashic emphasis on intertextuality suggests that therapists exercise caution in relation to the claims of the teachers, Fowers, 2005;Richardson, Fowers, & Guignon, 1999;Stern, , 1997. There are truths in a text, and similarly there are truths achieved in personal meeting, and we should cherish them when they appear.…”
