Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, based on lectures that he gave in
Athens in the fourth century BCE, is one of the most significant
works of moral philosophy ever written. Aristotle, though of course
influenced by the works of Plato, diverges sharply from his
predecessor by making the practice, rather than the possession, of
virtue the key to human happiness. By converting ethics from a
theoretical to a practical science, and by introducing psychology
into his study of behaviour, Aristotle both widened the field of
moral philosophy and simultaneously made it more accessible to
anyone who seeks an understanding of human nature. The theory of
'Virtue Ethics' Aristotle put forward still continues to be a major
position of ethical thought to this day, his influence being
strongly present in the work of Elizabeth Anscombe, Phillipa Foot
and Alisdair McIntyre.
