摘要:In the paper,the author uses the methods of neurophilosophy in order to rethink arete as a key notion of ancient philosophy. In neurophilosophy the author com?bines: a) contemporary views on neuroevolution,given by neurosciences;b) the most important meanings of Heidegger's fundamental ontology;and c) the new meanings of Dasein,which derive from the philosophy of cosmos. Arete is taken as a basis of the being of the Dasein “mentality about”,while the “dianoetic virtues” of Aristotle are rethought as the existentials of arete.
