Aristotle's teaching on the subject of happiness has been a topic
of intense philosophical debate in recent years. Did he hold that
happiness consists in the exercise of all the virtues, moral and
intellectual, or that supreme happiness is to be found only in the
practice of philosophical contemplation? The question is vital to
the relevance of his ethics today. Anthony Kenny helped to set the
terms of the debate a quarter of a century ago. Later, in his book
The Aristotelian Ethics (Clarendon Press, 1978), he argued that
Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics had no less claim than the better-known
Nicomachean Ethics to be taken as a late and definitive statement
of Aristotle's position. In this new book he refines his view of
the relationship between the two treatises and shows how to reach a
consensus on the interpretation of the texts. Aristotle's admirers
struggle to read a comprehensive account of the supreme happiness
into the Nicomachean Ethics; Dr Kenny argues that those who are
prepared to take the neglected Eudemian Ethics with equal
seriousness are able to preserve their admiration intact without
doing violence to any of the relevant texts.
