Description
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics explores the nature of happiness and how to live a virtuous life. He argues that happiness arises from 'activity of the soul in accordance with virtue', encompassing both moral virtues such as courage, generosity, and justice, and intellectual virtues like knowledge, wisdom, and insight. The work examines practical reasoning, the value and objects of pleasure, different forms of friendship, and the relationship between individual virtue, society, and the State. This edition is translated from the Greek by J.A.K. Thomson with revisions and notes by Hugh Tredennick, and features an introduction and bibliography by Jonathan Barnes. Published in 2004, this Penguin Classics edition offers authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
