Nicomachean Ethics4 reviews
Aristotle

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Best available English translation
I admit that I have not personally seen this book yet, but I posted a query about translations of the Ethics on the Philosop internet list, and the majority of respondents (university professors) favored Sarah Broadie and Christopher Rowe's translation, which includes an extensive and useful commentary, over all others.
  
  











  



  
Nicomachean Ethics1 review
Aristotle

Digireads.com, 2005

We Reach Our Complete Perfection Through Habit
I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. I think Aristotle's ethics is his most seminal work in philosophy. In the early 1960's virtue ethics came to fore. It is a retrieval of Aristotle. It has very close parallels to the ancient Chinese philosophy of Confucius and the modern philosophy espoused in the 1970's called Communitarianism. For Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics, (EN) is ...
  
  











  



  
Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)3 reviews
Aristotle

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Doing the right thing
Aristotle was a philosopher in search of the chief good for human beings. This chief good is eudaimonia, which is often translated as 'happiness' (but can also be translated as 'thriving' or 'flourishing'). Aristotle sees pleasure, honour and virtue as significant 'wants' for people, and then argues that virtue is the most important of these. In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle makes the ...

A Guided Tour of Selections from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

This "guided tour" actively engages students with Aristotle's work through a variety of tasks that help them develop their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. The text provides complete discussion of books 1-4 and 10 and offers summaries and excerpts of Books 2, 3, and 5 through 9.
  
  











  



  
Commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Thomas Aquinas's Aristotelian Commentaries Series)3 reviews
C. I. Litzinger, St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Augustines Dumb Ox Books, 1993

Another Great Text from Dumb Ox
As with the other commentaries from Dumb Ox Books, this text contains both the original text from Aristotle, and Aquinas' comments. These two texts are nicely distinguishable for the lay reader (or beginning reader) since Dumb Ox has put Aristotle's work in italics and Aquinas' commentary in normal typed text. This is a very helpful text in understanding two things. First, what Aquinas thought of ...

The Nicomachean Ethics40 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 1962

Translations differ
It would be helpful if Amazon didn't pool together reviews from different translations. Note to Amazon: the customer reviews can be very helpful and have motivated me to purchase many books. But reviews for widely translated books should be specific to the translation. Otherwise they become worthless.
  
  











  



  
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Philosophical Library Series)8 reviews
Aristotle

Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company, 2002

Exceptional translation, excellent introduction
I've read and taught the Nicomachean Ethics several times in translation, and working through it this time with Joe Sachs' exceptional translation is what for the first time brought the urgency and interest of the text alive for me. I'd always said, in response to student complaints, something like: I know that the book itself, in style, is kind of boring and dry, but the subject matter could ...

Taking Life Seriously: A Study of the Argument of the Nicomachean Ethics (Toronto Studies in Philosophy)3 reviews
Francis Sparshott

University of Toronto Press, 1996

Erudite, Gripping and Fresh Interpretation of Aristotle.
Francis Sparshott is an excellent poet as well as an excellent philosopher, and his command of language and his depth of insight are both highly manifest in this book. Sparshott has given here the best modern overall commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, itself possibly the greatest of Aristotle's works. In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle brings the perspective of a great ...

Thomism and Aristotelianism: A Study of the Commentary by Thomas Aquinas on the Nicomachean Ethics1 review
Harry V. Jaffa

Greenwood Press Reprint, 1979

Excellent Reprint of Excellent Book
Thomism and Aristotelianism is an excellent dismantling of Thomas Aquinas' understanding of Aristotle, focusing mainly upon the Commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics. In the course exposing how Aquinas misread Aristotle, Jaffa provides his own convincing interpretation of the Ethics, along with keys to the work's structure. The only concern I had in ordering this book was its binding, as ...
