This paper, largely inspired by Aristotle, reflects on the relationship between morally good/bad life and the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God. At first it focuses on how human good/bad propensities are similarly preparatory/adverse to these two activities: it deals with both the contribution of virtues to friendship-love and that of friendship-love in the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God, and the influence of the virtues/vices on the practical syllogism and on the understanding of the good and of the two mentioned activities as goods. Then it focuses separately the influence of virtues/vices on the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou (which is favored, for example, by some emotions and hampered by others) and on the exercise of love of God (favored, for example, from self-possession on one’s emotions).
Il presente contributo, in larga misura ispirato ad Aristotele, riflette sul rapporto tra la vita moralmente buona/cattiva e l’esercizio della conoscenza/theoria theou o dell’amor Dei. Dapprima focalizza come le umane propensioni buone/cattive siano analogamente propedeutiche/avverse a queste due attività: tratta sia l’apporto delle virtù all’amicizia-amore e quello della condivisione amicale all’esercizio della conoscenza/theoria theou o dell’amor Dei, sia l’influsso delle virtù/vizi sul sillogismo pratico e sulla comprensione del bene e delle due menzionate attività come beni. Di seguito considera separatamente l’influsso delle virtù/vizi sull’esercizio della conoscenza/theoria theou (che è favorita, per esempio, da alcune emozioni ed intralciata da altre) e sull’esercizio dell’amor Dei (favorito, per esempio, dall’autopossesso sulle proprie emozioni).

Abstract
This paper, largely inspired by Aristotle, reflects on the relationship between morally good/bad life and the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God. At first it focuses on how human good/bad propensities are similarly preparatory/adverse to these two activities: it deals with both the contribution of virtues to friendship-love and that of friendship-love in the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God, and the influence of the virtues/vices on the practical syllogism and on the understanding of the good and of the two mentioned activities as goods. Then it focuses separately the influence of virtues/vices on the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou (which is favored, for example, by some emotions and hampered by others) and on the exercise of love of God (favored, for example, from self-possession on one’s emotions).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
