Abstract
This paper, largely inspired by Aristotle, reflects on the relationship between morally good/bad life and the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God.
At first it focuses on how human good/bad propensities are similarly preparatory/adverse to these two activities: it deals with both the contribution of virtues to friendship-love and that of friendship-love in the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou or of love of God, and the influence of the virtues/vices on the practical syllogism and on the understanding of the good and of the two mentioned activities as goods.
Then it focuses separately the influence of virtues/vices on the exercise of knowledge/theoria theou (which is favored, for example, by some emotions and hampered by others) and on the exercise of love of God (favored, for example, from self-possession on one’s emotions).
