In the following, I examine Aristotle’s non-univocity argument against the Form of the Good in Nicomachean Ethics (EN) 1.6. I assess the main available interpretations of it and, having shown that they are not wholly satisfactory, I put forward a new one, based on strong textual evidence deriving from EN and the Topics. According to this interpretation, in EN 1.6 Aristotle should be taken to speak about a particular kind of good: goods which are good per se, i.e. intrinsic goods.Goodness and Non-Univocity in Nicomachean Ethics 1.6Phronesis. forthcoming.
