Aristotele si colloca tra i più grandi filosofi di tutti i tempi, le cui opere hanno plasmato il pensiero occidentale per secoli. La sua ricerca si estese a una vasta gamma di discipline, dalla logica e metafisica all'etica, alla teoria politica e all'estetica. Il suo approccio basato sull'osservazione e sulla ricerca empirica, specialmente in biologia, fu pionieristico. La filosofia di Aristotele, complessa e oggetto di continui dibattiti interpretativi, stimola ancora oggi l'interesse accademico, testimoniando la sua duratura importanza.
In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle examines the nature of happiness, which he defines as a specially good kind of life. He considers the nature of practical reasoning, friendship, and the role and importance of the moral virtues in the best life. This new edition features a revised translation and valuable new introduction and notes.
Nearly all the works Aristotle (384 322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.
An extended and revised edition of one of the best-selling Cambridge Texts.
