The Ethics of Aristotle

Joseph W. Koterski
3.81/5 (290 ratings)
What is happiness? What is moral excellence? How can you attain them? Can either be taught?

For more than 2,000 years, thoughtful people have been turning to Aristotle (384–322 B.C.) to help them find answers to questions like these. In this meditation on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, an award-winning teacher shows you the clarity and ethical wisdom of one of humanity's greatest minds.

Often called "the philosopher of common sense," Aristotle offers an exquisitely balanced account of many ethical questions.

Professor Koterski's aim is to provide you with a clear and thoughtful introduction to Aristotle as a moral philosopher. And he suggests ways in which this thinker from so long ago still speaks to the deep concerns of our own or any age.

After absorbing some important background information designed to introduce you to Aristotle's career and general approach to the various fields of knowledge, you turn to the 10 books (today we would call them chapters) of this brief but towering work.
