» 12 more No current Talk conversations about this book. The kind of book you wish you had read a long time ago. I was privileged enough to get to read the Cambridge Crisp translation (the one I recommend) 0521632218 And also the Oxford, Ross Translation which is also pretty good. On a first read, while I was able to appreciate the harmony of Aristotle's writing, it made me feel that his Ethics were not well described "in practice". How can I achieve that mean?, how do I know I am doing well?, etc. NA This guy's an idiot. This is how the average person thinks the world works. Instead of using any real logic he manipulates his conclusions by making random analogies and makes judgemental statements without defining his terms. Every sentence contains a huge gap in logic.
The volume before us is much more than a translation. The translators, Robert C. Bartlett, who teaches Hellenic politics at Boston College, and Susan D. Collins, a political scientist at the University of Houston, have provided helpful aids. ... Together these bring the original text within the compass of every intelligent reader.

This new edition of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is an accurate, readable and accessible translation of one of the world's greatest ethical works. Based on lectures Aristotle gave in Athens in the fourth century BCE, Nicomachean Ethics is one of the most significant works in moral philosophy, and has profoundly influenced the whole course of subsequent philosophical endeavour. It offers seminal, practically oriented discussions of many central ethical issues, including the role of luck in human well-being, moral education, responsibility, courage, justice, moral weakness, friendship and pleasure, with an emphasis on the exercise of virtue as the key to human happiness. This second edition offers an updated editor's introduction and suggestions for further reading, and incorporates the line numbers as well as the page numbers of the Greek text. With its emphasis on accuracy and readability, it will enable readers without Greek to come as close as possible to Aristotle's work. No library descriptions found. |

If you think all that sounds dense, try reading the text, or his lectures on Physics. I took some things from this. It’s helped me shake off some residual purist standards I had for myself. That said, it took me awhile to read this one effectively. Recommended for people who like to read philosophy.
