Nicomachean Ethics

De: Aristotle, W. D. Ross - translator

Narrado por: Michael Prichard

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, said to be dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus, is widely regarded as one of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy. Addressing the question of how men should best live, Aristotle's treatise is not a mere philosophical meditation on the subject, but a practical examination that aims to provide a guide for living out its recommendations. The result is a deep inquiry into the nature and means of attaining happiness, which Aristotle defines as consisting not merely of pleasure or an emotional state, but of a virtuous and morally led life. This edition is the translation by W. D. Ross.

Good read of classic

Liked the book a lot but some of the terms used in this version not as readily understandable. But well worth the time to listen.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

Finished in a matter of days, great reading, incredible writing. For those interested in virtues of character, it’s a must listen.

Amazing!

It is truly amazing to discover the length and breadth of knowledge expressed here by Aristotle! It comes as no surprise then, that he would be one of the foremost sources of the philosophical underpinnings of western civilization.

Michael Pritchard did a great job at reading the text of this audiobook.

As a student...

This audio book saved me! It is read aloud well with an enjoyable tone and speed. I specifically needed this for the first two books of this text, and in this case contrary to another review the first and second books were synchronized with the first and second chapters. I'm very thankful for this audio book!

Great work

This is a very good book and it is a wonderful source of information on the underlying ethics of our entire wester civilization.
