Beskrivelse
The “Nicomachean Ethics” is one of Aristotle’s most widely read and influential works. Ideas central to ethics – that happiness is the end of human endeavor, that moral virtue is formed through action and habituation, and that good action requires prudence – found their most powerful proponent in the person medieval scholars simply called “the Philosopher.” 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. The “Nicomachean Ethics” has engaged the serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations – of people ancient, medieval, and modern; pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish.
