ABSTRACT When Aristotle praises pentathletes’ beauty at Rhetoric 1361b, it is not the idle observation of a sports fan. In fact, the balanced and harmonious beauty of athletes’ bodies reflects Aristotle’s ideal of a virtuous soul in the Nicomachean Ethics: one which discerns noble ends and means, then acts accordingly. At Eudemian Ethics 1248b, he takes it a step further, characterizing kalokagathia as ‘the virtue (aretē) that arises from a combination’ of virtues (aretai). These passages raise important questions about the relationship between ethics, athletics, and aesthetics. In this paper, I argue that Aristotle’s ideal of kalokagathia is compatible not just with athletic training, but also with an ideal of citizenship that rejects traditional ideas about inborn virtue and superficial beauty.

亚里士多德伦理学中的运动美德和审美价值

摘要当亚里斯多德(Aristotle)在Rhetoric 1361b上赞扬五项运动员的美丽时,这并不是体育迷的闲逛。实际上,运动员身体的平衡与和谐之美反映了亚里士多德在《尼科马奇伦理学》中理想的良性灵魂:辨别高贵的结局和手段,然后据此行事。在Eudemian Ethics 1248b中,他更进一步,将kalokagathia形容为“美德(aretai)的组合所产生的美德(aretē)”。这些段落提出了有关道德,运动与美学之间关系的重要问题。在本文中,我认为亚里士多德的kalookagathia理想不仅与运动训练兼容,而且与拒绝传统观念有关天生美德和肤浅美的公民身份理想兼容。
