Aristotleâs Nicomachean Ethics is a book of enduring relevance that aims to answer the question of how human beings should live. Much, however, has changed since the time of ancient Greece, and the meanings of words arenât static. The goal of Christopher Byrneâs new translation is thus to make Aristotle accessible to modern readers who may share in the common humanity of Aristotleâs world but donât share his vocabulary or his culture. This goal is also served through a brisk introduction, chronologies of Aristotleâs life and of his philosophical impacts, and extensive clarifying footnotes. Also included in this edition are appendices outlining the bookâs main argument and the many virtues under discussion, as well as illuminating passages from Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotleâs other writings. |
