'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 评分我在想,如果当年我就读到廖申白这本,而不是苗力田那本,估计我对亚叔的兴趣就不会这么姗姗来迟。当年苗力田那本,勉强看完第一章,就扔掉,从此把亚叔打入冷宫。 苗爷爷的那本没有给力的注释,而且对比廖申白这本,更像是一种意译。苗爷爷自然功力深厚,无人可比,但他自己...
评分终于用半年多的时间细读了一遍,做一些简单的总结。 相比一年前扫的第一遍,这一遍的好处当然在于态度更加仔细、认真,摆脱了很多阐释的教条、动用自身的体验去发现文本里的问题,并且能够深入到细节之中进行讨论,和别人互相印证,发现了许多重要的问题;缺点则在于刚刚开始...
Finally finished the 6-page paper about philo analysis among Aristotle, Kant and Confucius. Favorite chapter of this book is Book VIII.
