Description

Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics explores what makes life worth living and how to achieve happiness. This treatise on moral philosophy considers various factors that contribute to it, including human agency, virtue, friendship, and pleasure. The work examines the role of virtues in achieving a noble and happy life, and its analysis is similar to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. A new translation by Anthony Kenny is accompanied by an introduction and explanatory notes to help readers understand this important work on Aristotle's philosophy. First published in its entirety in modern English, this edition provides a clear and accessible version of the Eudemian Ethics, making it suitable for those interested in Aristotle's thought and moral philosophy.
