Based on the most recent Greek edition of Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics (EE), The Unity of the Virtues in the Eudemian Ethics provides a fresh look at the treatise, arguing that all the virtues-of character, of practical and theoretical thinking-form a unity in the sense that they function together. Giulia Bonasio refers to this unity as Functional Unity. She approaches the EE as a treatise in its own right aside from the connections with the Nicomachean Ethics and shows that understanding its philosophical proposal is fundamental for a full picture of Aristotle's ethics. The EE defends a unity of the virtues that is more comprehensive than the unity of practical wisdom and the character virtues, which is traditionally ascribed to the Nicomachean Ethics.
