Nicomachean Ethics

From a preeminent scholar and translator, the definitive translation of Aristotle's essential work."Waterfield has produced a reliable, fresh, and wonderfully readable translation of the Ethics that makes Aristotle's often elliptical style accessible to those approaching him for the first time."-Brad Inwood, Yale University<BR><BR>The Nicomachean Ethics is widely considered Aristotle's most significant work of ethical philosophy, and has had an unquestionably profound impact on all subsequent Western philosophy, law, and theology-from the works of Dante Alighieri to modern "virtue ethics." <BR><BR>In this new translation, preeminent scholar Robin Waterfield masterfully renders Aristotle's indispensable work into readable English. Nicomachean Ethics argues that human happiness can be achieved through virtuous action, as typified by a "golden mean" of behavior between extremes. As well as analyzing the virtues, the work masterfully covers topics such as pleasure and self-control, friendship, and everything that makes up the good life and allows us to fulfill our godlike rational capacity. The Nicomachean Ethics is as instructive today for how a good life should be lived as it was over two thousand years ago. <BR><BR>With John Sellars's illuminating and eminently practical introduction, this beautifully rendered new translation is required reading for anyone seeking insights into Aristotelian philosophy.<BR>
