Cassirer Lectures Archive
Professor Sebastian Rödl, Professor of Philosophy, University of Leipzig
I want to consider the idea of the good. The idea I mean is the one that opens up practical thought, thought of what to do and how to act. Knowing what to do is knowing what is good to do; ultimately, it is knowing what to do so as to act well. My theme is the use of “good” in “good to do” and “acting well”. It is the formal object of practical knowledge: what practical knowledge as such knows.
