The Nicomachean Ethics Of Aristotle
ByPublisher Description
The philosophical work "The Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle explores the nature of pleasure and the characteristics necessary for living a happy life. According to Aristotle, flourishing, or eudaimonia, is the highest human good and may be obtained through developing virtuous habits. He makes a distinction between moral and intellectual virtues, with moral qualities being the focus of the work. Aristotle emphasizes the need of achieving the right balance in certain situations because he thinks virtue is a middle ground between two extremes. Aristotle argues in the book that having friends and social ties is crucial for happiness since humans are social beings. The Nicomachean Ethics, the seminal work of Western philosophy, had a profound influence on moral, political, and human nature philosophy. Aristotle's emphasis on developing good habits and his idea that virtue is a medium path between two extremes, as well as his views on human nature and the value of interpersonal relationships, are still relevant today. The work has been widely read and researched for its contributions to comprehending the nature of pleasure, ethics, and virtue.
