When John #McDowell writes* that the #Greek term ‘#prattein’ (whence ‘#praxis’) as used by #Aristotle has a ‘quasi-technical restricted use’ not applicable to animals (unlike ‘voluntary #behaviour’), does the use of “technical” in McDowell’s construction mean something like #technē or rather #Eudaimonia-theoretic? If the former then it seems odd that #animals be ruled out so quickly.
