"Ethica Nicomachea" is Aristotle's foundational work on ethics, exploring the nature of the good life and the means by which individuals can achieve happiness (eudaimonia). Through reasoned arguments and careful observations, Aristotle examines virtues, vices, and the importance of practical wisdom (phronesis) in navigating moral dilemmas. This edition presents the core text alongside insightful commentary by Denys Lambin and Karl Zell, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of Aristotle's enduring contributions to ethical thought.
This volume serves as an essential resource for students and scholars of philosophy, political theory, and anyone interested in exploring the timeless questions of morality and human flourishing. The "Ethica Nicomachea" remains a cornerstone of Western ethical tradition, providing a framework for understanding and evaluating human actions and their consequences.
