This complete edition of Aristotle's Ethics offers the
authoritative translation to English by W. D. Ross. Aristotle
conceived of the term 'ethics' as a way of examining the moral
thought of his teacher Plato, and Plato's contemporary Socrates.
Wishing to keep a simple definition, Aristotle conceived of ethics
as the moral and behavioural ideal of the way in which human life
is conducted. The philosopher's principle work of moral philosophy
is entitled Nicomachean Ethics, and is comprised of ten distinct
books. In order to properly define ethical behaviour, Aristotle
attempts to conceive of a society that is ideal in the sense of
securing the maximum happiness for the entire population. After
defining the nature of happiness, Aristotle commences to discuss
the various virtues people may aspire to in order to live
ethically. Having first appeared in 1908, the iteration of the
Ethics presented here has stood the test of time. It continues to
be cited and favoured by numerous scholars to this day.
