In this chapter, Pål Rykkja Gilbert explores Martin Heidegger’s early encounter with Aristotle by inquiring into his readings of central concepts in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics in the 1920s, with a particular focus upon the question how the specifically “ethical content” of these concepts fare in the hands of Heidegger. Phronēsis (practical wisdom) and prohairesis (resolve) provide the guiding thread; Heidegger’s treatment of the former has been heavily debated by scholars of his thought, while his treatment of the latter, a concept that has been less discussed in Aristotelian scholarship as well, has received less attention. Gilbert contends that understanding Heidegger’s treatment of prohairesis is essential to a full appreciation of his interpretation of both phronēsis and of Aristotle’s concept of ethical virtue/ virtue of character. Heidegger’s interpretation of the Ethics has been repeatedly charged with representing an “ontologisation” responsible for more or less sinister results. Gilbert argues that this is largely mistaken, while bringing into relief important ways in which Heidegger departs from traditional interpretations of specific points. xxx concludes that his reading constitutes both a rewarding perspective from which to view Aristotle’s ethical theory and a privileged path toward an understanding of Heidegger’s own conception of authenticity.
