  • Ignorance, Involuntariness, and Regret in Aristotle.Filip Grgić - 2021 - International Journal of Philosophical Studies 29 (3):351-369.
    This paper is a discussion of Aristotle’s account of actions that come about because of ignorance as found in his Nicomachean Ethics 3.1. I argue that such actions do not originate in the agent, bu...
