About the book

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics examines the question of what it means to live a good and fulfilling human life. He argues that happiness is achieved through the cultivation of virtue, practical wisdom and balanced habits of character. His discussions of courage, friendship, justice and moral responsibility became foundational to Western ethical philosophy.
