Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics was until recently treated as a poor
cousin of the better-known Nicomachean Ethics - poor enough even to
have to borrow its three central books (IV-VI) from the latter. The
work has now emerged from its relative obscurity; many scholars,
indeed, now claim - on the basis of what appear to be sound
statistical arguments - that it is the Nicomachean Ethics that has
to borrow its Books V-VII from the Eudemian. This critical edition
of Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics treats this particular issue as
unresolved, including as it does only five books (I-III, VII-VIII),
but without prejudice, the three disputed books being treated as
already available in the edition of the Nicomachean Ethics in the
same series. The new edition of the Eudemian Ethics completes the
task, begun by Walzer and Mingay's 1991 Oxford Classical Text
edition, of restoring the corrupted text on the basis of a new
understanding of the relationships between the extant Greek
manuscripts. The three primary manuscripts identified by
Harlfinger, along with a fourth identified by the present editor,
Christopher Rowe, have been freshly and fully collated, a more
extensive apparatus criticus has been provided, and substantial new
progress has been made in the restoration of the text. A separate
companion volume (Aristotelica: Studies on the text of Aristotle's
Eudemian Ethics) contains the arguments for every important
editorial choice made in the restoration of the text.
