Description
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is a foundational work in moral philosophy that explores the nature of human happiness and virtue. Based on lectures given by Aristotle in Athens, this text offers practical discussions on central ethical issues such as luck, moral education, responsibility, courage, justice, and friendship. The book examines the role of virtue in achieving human well-being and provides seminal insights into the exercise of virtues as a means to attain happiness. This new edition features an updated editor's introduction and suggestions for further reading, making it accessible to readers without prior knowledge of Greek. With its emphasis on accuracy and readability, this translation enables readers to engage with Aristotle's work in a meaningful way, bringing them closer to his original ideas on ethics and human flourishing.
