NICOMACHEAN ETHICS

Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.) is the philosopher who has had most influence on the development of western culture - natural sciences, philosophical topics of logic, metaphysics and ethics. To the poet Dante he was simply the master of those who know. The Ethics contains his views on what makes a good human life. The Ancient Greek thinker outlines his own understanding of morality and virtue in the practical contexts of humanity and society. And yet, he also poses questions, analyzing potential counterviews and disagreements to his own treatise. For anyone seeking to get to the root of one of philosophy's age-old questions.
