Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Paperback)

The "Nicomachean Ethics" is one of Aristotle's most widely read and
influential works. Ideas central to ethics - that happiness is the
end of human endeavor, that moral virtue is formed through action
and habituation, and that good action requires prudence - found
their most powerful proponent in the person medieval scholars
simply called "the Philosopher." Drawing on their intimate
knowledge of Aristotle's thought, Robert C. Bartlett and Susan D.
Collins have produced here an English-language translation of the
"Ethics" that is as remarkably faithful to the original as it is
graceful in its rendering. Aristotle is well known for the
precision with which he chooses his words, and in this elegant
translation his work has found its ideal match. Bartlett and
Collins provide copious notes and a glossary providing context and
further explanation for students, as well as an introduction and a
substantial interpretive essay that sketch central arguments of the
work and the seminal place of Aristotle's "Ethics" in his political
philosophy as a whole. The "Nicomachean Ethics" has engaged the
serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations - of
people ancient, medieval, and modern; pagan, Christian, Muslim, and
Jewish - and this new edition will take its place as the standard
English-language translation.
