Nicomachean Ethics moves beyond the purely theoretical analysis of moral philosophy by examining its practical application. It is one of the world’s great books by Aristotle. Aristotle is well known for the precision with which he chooses his words, and in this elegant translation, his work has found its ideal match. Aristotelian ethics is concerned with how an individual should best live their life and at its core asserts the idea that the most virtuous life will be the happiest one. By living well, in balance with one’s environment, eschewing excess, guiding one’s life by reason, Aristotle argues, is the path towards the most virtuous and thus the happiest life.
Aristotle emphasized the importance of context to ethical behavior, and the ability of the virtuous person to recognize the best course of action. The book has engaged the serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations.
