Description

Aristotle's writings on ethics and society offer profound insights into living well in the world. In this selection from his Nicomachean Ethics, he explores ideas of happiness, virtue, community, responsibility, courage, friendship, agency, reasoning, desire, and pleasure. Through his inquiry, Aristotle probes the nature of an ethical value system, examining how individuals can live a virtuous life. This collection of writings has had a lasting impact on Western thought, shaping our understanding of the self and its place in society. Aristotle's ideas have inspired debate, dissent, and revolution, yet also provided comfort and enlightenment to those who have grappled with these fundamental questions.
