This volume, which is part of the Clarendon Aristotle Series,
offers a clear and faithful new translation of Books II to IV of
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, accompanied by an analytical
commentary focusing on philosophical issues. In Books II to IV,
Aristotle gives his account of virtue of character in general and
of the principal virtues individually, topics of central interest
both to his ethical theory and to modern ethical theorists.
Consequently major themes of the commentary are connections on the
one hand with other relevant Aristotelian texts and on the other
with modern writings, both text-related and thematic. Since the
main aim of the volume is to make Aristotle's thought as accessible
as possible to readers who do not know Greek, considerable care is
taken to elucidate both his technical vocabulary and significant
features of his Greek idiom. C. C. W. Taylor also provides
systematic comparisons with other translations into English and
other languages, and frequent references to other commentaries,
ancient, medieval, and modern. These features make the work useful
to other scholars in the field as well as to students of
philosophy, both undergraduate and graduate. In view of the
widespread contemporary interest in the topic of virtue, the volume
should appeal to students of ethics (even those hitherto
unacquainted with ancient thought) and to any reader who is
concerned to see how fundamental questions of life and conduct were
approached in a culture significantly different from our own.
