The Nicomachean Ethics
'Happiness, then, is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world.'In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being?His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life.Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation.Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life.This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation.It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Happiness as Actuality in Nicomachean Ethics
This is a study about the meaning of happiness (ευδaι?ονιa) in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (EN).It is argued that ευδaι?ονιa in EN means actuality, and it has to be interpreted through the lenses of two metaphors used by Aristotle in EN 1.7 1098a21 and 10.6 1176a30: the ""perimeter of good"" and the ""imprint of happiness."" To explain the meaning of happiness Aristotle first has to delineate the ""perimeter of good"" of human beings, and he does that with the help of two criteria: the final end [τελος] and the function of humanity [εÏyον ανθÏωπου].These two criteria are metaphysical concepts which describe the ""good"" as the final metaphysical aim of every person, and the best every person can be.This metaphysical teleological aim is the ""actuality of the soul"" according with excellence.This is the ""perimeter"" within which Aristotle enquires about ευδaι?ονιa--the good of humans. ""Remarkable in its erudition, through detailed analyses and fresh approaches, Sabou's book offers a new reading of Aristotle's inquiry on happiness based on only two interpretative metaphors.The whole architecture of Aristotle's ethical theory is reconstructed on this basis.It's a book devoted to critically-minded students trained to penetrate the endless strata of surprising assumptions.""--Valentin Muresan, University of Bucharest, Distinguished Research Fellow, Oxford Uehiro Center for Practical EthicsSorin Sabou is the Prorector of Baptist Theological Institute of Bucharest.He is the author of Between Horror and Hope: Paul's Metaphorical Language of Death in Romans 6 (2005), and The Cross to Rome (2014).

An Analysis of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
Aristotle, a student of Plato, wrote Nicomachean Ethics in 350 BCE, in a time of extraordinary intellectual development.Over two millennia later, his thorough exploration of virtue, reason, and the ultimate human good still forms the basis of the values at the heart of Western civilization.According to Aristotle, the ultimate human good is eudaimonia, or happiness, which comes from a life of virtuous action.He argues that virtues like justice, restraint, and practical wisdom cannot simply be taught but must be developed over time by cultivating virtuous habits, which can be developed by using practical wisdom and recognizing the desirable middle ground between extremes of human behavior.

Introduction to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
This book provides a balanced and accessible introduction to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.It carefully and comprehensively follows the thread of Aristotle’s argument and sheds light on topics that all too often receive little attention or are entirely ignored in the existing textbooks (such as self-control, legislative science and the legislator, the life of the money-maker, craft-knowledge, comprehension, and beastliness). Its objective is not only to offer an academically reliable presentation of Aristotle’s Ethics but to also defend Aristotle’s main tenets—or, at least, to present them in their most defensible form. It places the Nicomachean Ethics within the study of ethics generally; students are invited to understand Aristotle’s claims in the light of, or in contrast to, other ethical theories or their own intuitions about ethical matters. It follows the reader of the Nicomachean Ethicsin action, registering questions, expectations and progress within an insightful exegesis of Aristotle's philosophical argument. It is replete with pedagogical tools including examples from our concrete everyday experience, paintings, films, and literature, end of chapter summaries, internet resources, suggestions for further reading, study questions, and essay questions.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Book X : Translation and Commentary
Accompanied by a new translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics X, this volume presents a hybrid between a traditional commentary and a scholarly monograph.Aristotle's text is divided into one hundred lemmata which not only explore comprehensively the content and strength of each of these units of thought, but also emphasise their continuity, showing how the smaller units feed into the larger structure.The Commentary illuminates what Aristotle thinks in each lemma (and why), and also shows how he thinks.In order to bring Aristotle alive as a thinker, it often explores several possible ways of reading the text to enable the reader to make up their own mind about the best interpretation of a given passage.The relevant background in Plato's dialogues is discussed, and a substantial Introduction sets out the philosophical framework necessary for understanding Book X, the final and most arresting section of the Ethics.
