'We are looking for the things that enable us to live a noble and
happy life...and what prospects decent people will have of
acquiring any of them.' The Eudemian Ethics is a major treatise on
moral philosophy whose central concern is what makes life worth
living. Aristotle considers the role of happiness, and what
happiness consists of, and he analyses various factors that
contribute to it: human agency, the relation between action and
virtue, and the concept of virtue itself. Moral and intellectual
virtues are classified and considered, and finally the roles of
friendship and pleasure. It deals with the same issues as the
better-known Nicomachean Ethics, with which it holds three books in
common, and its special qualities, as well as the similarities and
differences between the two works, are of fundamental concern to
anyone interested in Aristotle's philosophy. This is the first time
the Eudemian Ethics has been published in its entirety in any
modern language. Anthony Kenny's fine translation is accompanied by
a lucid introduction and explanatory notes, which assist the reader
in understanding this important work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over
100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest
range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
