The Ethics of Aristotle

The ancient Greek philosopher’s classic work on happiness and its roots in virtue and good character. How should we live? What is the importance of such qualities as courage, generosity, and wisdom? The man who would become one of the greatest influences on Western thinking about morality explores these questions and delves into topics such as practical reasoning, friendship, pleasure, and our role in society and government. This is a classic work on timeless topics, a gift from Aristotle to the modern world.
