BLWith new text and full apparatus criticus The Eudemian Ethics was
one of two ethical treatises which Aristotle wrote on the subject
of ethica or `matters to do with character'. Although the two works
cover much the same ground, the Nicomachean Ethics is better known;
the poor manuscript tradition of the Eudemian Ethics has made
correct translation and interpretation of the text extremely
difficult. The subject of the work is the choice of a certain means
of conduct, made by a `man of practical wisdom' (phronimos),
between two extremes of behaviour: asceticism and yielding to
uncontrolled impulses. Aristotle also stresses the notion of moral
intention and the importance of virtue of character. This new
Oxford Classical Text of the Eudemian Ethics is the result of many
years of work. After Sir David Ross's death, his original text was
substantially reworked and revised by his friend and colleague R.
R. Walzer, who was aided in the revision by his former pupil Mrs
Jean Mingay, who continued his work after his death in 1974. Mrs
Mingay was fortunate in being able to make use of previously
unpublished contributions from D. J. Allan after his death in the
late seventies, and more recently has been helped in her work by
the suggestions of Professor D. A. Russell, David Robinson, and
Christopher Rowe.
