'Happiness, then, is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world.' In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life. This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

评分 评分亚里士多德的这本伦理学是我阅读的第一本完整的亚里士多德著作。这本书本专业同级同学几乎人手一本,然而自从购入我搁置甚久才开卷。哲学的训练使人培养一种可靠又不可靠的嗅觉,这种嗅觉告诉你:中国现在需要柏拉图,在现代性批判压过现代性研究的大潮中,崇拜努斯和逻各斯并...
英文不行的我一上来看这种真的很吃力,沉没在每个字句的意思中而对整体脉络丝毫没有感觉,复习的时候乖乖去读中文了……大量复杂的从句导致我必须用笔划分句子结构才能读下去(因此好像对读其他论文和日常英语的能力没有多大提高,因为写法实在不太一样),另外virtue、reason这种词既是概念术语又在论证中作为日常逻辑用语使用,不知道是只能翻译成这样还是有改进的可能……
评分Life unfolds, along with happiness, as all the questions that once interested you as theories become personal questions.
评分slavery; contemplative life; happiness; the final good; virtue and many more good stuff.
评分Life unfolds, along with happiness, as all the questions that once interested you as theories become personal questions.
评分粗略过了一遍,标志着这个学期三分之一最闲暇时间的过去。通过重复总结和概括尽力让读者看懂,然而句子实在太复杂,我陷落在that和its丛林中。
