The Nicomachean Ethics is one of Aristotle’s most widely read and influential works. 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.” 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.
