Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, based on lectures that he gave in Athens in the fourth century BCE, is one of the most significant works in moral philosophy, and has profoundly influenced the whole course of subsequent philosophical endeavor. Topics covered include the role of luck in human wellbeing, responsibility, courage, justice, friendship and pleasure. This accessible new translation follows the Greek text closely and also provides a non-Greek reader with something of the flavor of the original. The volume also includes a historical and philosophical introduction and notes on further reading.

    After listening to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, I decided to go back and work through this book (the last time was 30 years ago). So far, it is as good as I remember it. There are little quirks here and there, but the general point of Aristotle's argument is compelling. Alas, I've gotten busy with other things so have stopped reading for now.
