From a preeminent scholar and translator, the definitive translation of Aristotleā€™s essential work  

The Nicomachean Ethics is widely considered Aristotleā€™s most significant work of ethical philosophy. The Ethics has had an unquestionably profound impact on all subsequent Western philosophy, law, and theologyā€”from the works of Dante Alighieri to modern ā€œvirtue ethics.ā€ 

In this new translation, preeminent scholar Robin Waterfield masterfully renders Aristotleā€™s indispensable work into readable English. Nicomachean Ethics argues that human happiness can be achieved through virtuous action, as typified by a ā€œgolden meanā€ of behavior between extremes. As well as analyzing the virtues, the work masterfully covers topics such as pleasure and self-control, friendship, and everything that makes up the good life and allows us to fulfill our godlike rational capacity. The Nicomachean Ethics is as instructive today for how a good life should be lived as it was over two thousand years ago. 
 
With John Sellarsā€™s illuminating and eminently practical introduction, this beautifully rendered new translation is required reading for anyone seeking insights into Aristotelian philosophy.
