Abstract
This chapter summarises the main theses defended in the book: that Aristotle endorses a form of qualified intellectualism in his ethics; that phronēsis is a persuasive rational excellence; that akrasia and enkrateia involve a failure of persuasion; that grasping the truth about the human good is insufficient to regulate desire and action; that non-rational cognition is sophisticated, yet unable to grasp universal explanatory accounts and engage in measuring by a single standard.
