More than Human: On Human Divinity in Aristotle’s 'Nichomachean Ethics'

Jason Menzin at St. John's Review

"In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle claims that human beings have the potential to be more than human and may come to live, even if only intermittently, the life proper to a god. But what does it mean to be more than human? And what are the grounds in the Ethics for Aristotle’s picture of human divinity?"

See Aristotle, Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volumes 8-9, and Great Books of the Western World (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volumes 7-8.
