Nicomachean Ethics

By: Aristotle, W. D. Ross - translator

Narrated by: 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.

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.

Great introduction to Philosopy

This book is truly great, a must read. It explains a lot of the philosophical reasoning that has permeated the west’s thinking.

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.

Profound book

Profound book with powerful words and poignant points! Loved every minute of it! Very introductory philosophy that’s not for the advanced philosophy students though!
