Aristotle's Ethics
Comprising His Practical Philosophy
Book • 1963
In 'Nicomachean Ethics', Aristotle discusses how individuals should best live, focusing on the concept of eudaimonia, often translated as 'flourishing' or 'happiness'.
He argues that eudaimonia is achieved through the practice of virtues, which are habits of character that enable a person to live a virtuous life.
Aristotle distinguishes between intellectual virtues and moral virtues, emphasizing the role of habit and conscious choice in developing moral character.
He also introduces the concept of the 'golden mean', where virtues are found at a middle ground between deficiency and excess.
The work explores various virtues such as courage, justice, and friendship, and how these contribute to a life of eudaimonia.
