“This is the only English translation of the Ethics for those who want or need to know precisely, not just roughly, what Aristotle says. Readers now can behold the splendor of his conception of moral virtue and engage with its subtleties as well. The translation is accompanied by excellent notes, an interpretive essay, indices, and a highly useful glossary.”—Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard University
(Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard University )
“There are several good editions of the Nicomachean Ethics currently available, but the Bartlett and Collins version is superior in several decisive respects—philological, philosophical, and pedagogical. The translation itself is consistently faithful to the text without lapsing into obscurity or awkwardness, with lots of helpful discussion (in just the right number of notes conveniently placed at the bottom of the page) of alternative possibilities at key points. Best of all, the thoughtful and well-crafted surrounding material—notes, glossary, introduction, and interpretive essay—supplies a marvelous guide to Aristotle’s unique way of presenting the central questions of ethics and politics. This is the version I will use when next I teach the Nicomachean Ethics.”—Stephen G. Salkever, Bryn Mawr College
(Stephen G. Salkever, Bryn Mawr College )
“This translation will easily be the best available English version of the Nicomachean Ethics.”—Michael Davis, Sarah Lawrence College
(Michael Davis, Sarah Lawrence College )
“Bartlett and Collins’s translation of the Nicomachean Ethics is the best in English that I have read. It nicely couples a consistent faithfulness to Aristotle’s Greek with a high degree of readability. This will be a real service to scholars and students.”—Gerald M. Mara, Georgetown University
(Gerald M. Mara, Georgetown University )
The Nicomachean Ethics, along with its sequel the Politics, is Aristotle’s most widely read and influential work. Ideas central to ethics—that happiness is the end of human endeavor, that moral virtue is formed through action and habituation, and that good action requires prudence—found their most powerful proponent in the person medieval scholars simply called “the Philosopher.” Drawing on their intimate knowledge of Aristotle’s thought, Robert C. Bartlett and Susan D. Collins have produced here an English-language translation of the Ethics that is as remarkably faithful to the original as it is graceful in its rendering.
Aristotle is well known for the precision with which he chooses his words, and in this elegant translation his work has found its ideal match. Bartlett and Collins provide copious notes and a glossary providing context and further explanation for students, as well as an introduction and a substantial interpretive essay that sketch central arguments of the work and the seminal place of Aristotle’s Ethics in his political philosophy as a whole.
The Nicomachean Ethics has engaged the serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations—of peoples ancient, medieval, and modern; pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish—and this new edition will take its place as the standard English language translation.
作为《政治学》上篇的《尼可马各伦理学》知名度不如《政治学》高,但我们老师认为本书价值却高于《政治学》,于是乎我便开读这一本号称西方伦理学开山之作的《尼可马各伦理学》。本书据传是亚里士多德之子尼可马各编纂,在古希腊雅典文明的鼎盛时期就曾作为教科书——可见本书...
评分1 《尼各马可伦理学》这本书,我从年初零零散散的读到了现在(19年11月1日)。往往读的时候有感想,但都是憋着,想等到读完再一起写,但是总也没读完,等到最后读完了,却发现,以前的那些小感想早就已经散落掉了。 说来有趣,我读的第一本伦理学是斯宾诺莎的伦理学,那是在四...

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...

兼具准确性和可读性,较之绝大多数译本强得太多。美中不足的是整个译本没有区分τὸ πρακτόν和ἡ πράξις,而是把两者都译为action,比较有误导性。
评分有养分,但读起来太辛苦
评分【10h】Happiness is to lead a life of temperance that is carried out by actions determined by reasons. Happiness per se is the end itself.
评分虽然只有贵族能实践
评分"This is the only English translation for those who want or need to know precisely what Aristotle says." 曼斯菲尔德如是说。但要我说,它肯定不是第一次接触本书时该看的译本。
