Among the works on ethics in the Aristotelian corpus, there is no
serious dispute among scholars that the Eudemian Ethics is
authentic. The Eudemian Ethics is increasingly read and used by
scholars as a useful support and confirmation and sometimes
contrast to the Nicomachean Ethics. Yet, it remains a largely
neglected work in the study of Aristotle's ethics, both among
scholars and moral philosophers. Peter L. P. Simpson provides an
analytical outline of the entire work together with summaries of
each individual section, making the overall structure and detailed
argument clear. His translation and explanatory notes include the
common books that the Eudemian Ethics shares with the Nicomachean.
This translation contains renderings of words and phrases, and
proposals for emending the text that differ from what other
translators and scholars have adopted. This translation is literal,
without expansion or paraphrase, and yet also readable. A readable
but literal translation is necessary because in the Eudemian
Ethics, more than usual in Aristotle's writings, the logic of the
argumentation can turn on the peculiar wording or order. Simpson
explains the argumentation where necessary in notes and separate
explanatory comments. This book is a fresh, twenty-first-century
rendition of the work of one of the most eminent philosophers of
all time.
