Abstract

This article focuses on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics to clarify the way the human being is cause and principle of acting, in practical situations wherein logos deals with desiring and feeling in the task of finding practical truth. That leads us to understand the one who acts and decides (the anthropos) in his humanity, and how deciding and acting make him a human being (and why he is an always “still yet to come” being).
