Summary

The aim of the paper is twofold. First, it aims to show that the relation of the two kinds of happiness requires that civic happiness, and thus civic virtues, exist in the course of contemplative happiness. It does not mean, however, that they are related to one another as a part to the whole. Second, it may also be clear that unlike the commentaries on Parva Naturalia, the commentary on Nicomachean Ethics X witnesses Michael of Ephesus’ Platonic and Neoplatonic commitments.
