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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Francis Sparshott
University of Toronto Press

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 ...

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 ...
