The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle Translated, with an Analysis and Critical Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle: Translated, With an Analysis and Critical Notes I have deliberately rejected the principle of trying to translate the same Greek word by the same word in English, and that, where circumstances seemed to call for it, I have sometimes used two English words to represent one word Of the Greek. But when all is said, the difficulty Of translating Aristotle remains great; nobody knows it so well as he who has felt it by actual trial; but I cherish the hope that this translation may be the means Of bringing the master-treatise upon Ethics into the hands of some one who has not known or appreciated it before.
