Item La sabiduría en Aristóteles: conocimiento de principios y causas en el científico que experimenta con animales(2014) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, ConradoAristotelian wisdom is understood as the intellectual virtue that, as it is simultaneously science and intellect, acknowledges the principles and the causes of the things that must be useful for oneself. Therefore for Aristotle a wise person is the one who knows everything as much as possible, possessing the science of the universe in a maximum degree. Aristotle tells us about the way we must interpret prudence and wisdom, by saying that they are both different, but mutually complementary. This reflection, in short, is the one approached by this article, by going into detail about the theory of the Aristotelian virtues and the "supreme" virtue among them, which is wisdom (as it is regarded by Aristotle) and its influence on researchers that conduct experiments on animals, given the fact that those researchers must observe universal ethical principles to develop their research works.Item La virtud: la recta razón en el profesional que experimenta con animales(2014-04-04) Garcés Giraldo, Luís Fernando; Giraldo Zuluaga, ConradoVirtue according to Aristotle’s thought is a medium term with regard to us regula-ted by right reason, as a prudent man. would act. It is that mode of being by which man becomes good and through which he performs his function very well. Virtue is directly related to how people act; these steps or actions should lead to a good, and that good must be a generator of happiness in man. It depends just on man himself that the actions he performs are done well and according to virtue. Thus, it is expected that the scientist who experiments with animals to act according to virtue, to have a permanent disposition to work according to right reason, and to discuss what is good, particularly what does good especially to other forms of life which share with us the mystery of life. The Aristotelian virtuous man must search that his actions are mediated by reason to choose what is good , not for himself but for the common good.
