摘要：Joseph Karbowski (Karbowski, 2015) recently proposed to reevaluate Allan's claim of considering the method of the Eudemian Ethics as ‘quasi mathematical’ (Allan, 1961). In this paper I argue that the dispute about the method in the Eudemian treatise would be more perspicuously done if, instead of searching for or denying mathematical features in the Eudemian Ethics , we strive to analyze the linguistic features of verbs using for introducing the premisses in the Eudemian treatise as well as in other texts as the Euclidean Elements . Besides, be it mathematical or not, the interpretations proposed by Allan and Karbowski are not capable of providing a full explanation of some important differences between books I and II of the Eudemian Ethics , differences for which I propose some tentative answers.
