Nicomachean Ethics (Hackett Classics)

An excellent new translation and commentary. It will serve newcomers as an informative, accessible introduction to the Nicomachean Ethics and to many issues in Aristotle s philosophy, but also has much to offer advanced scholars. The commentary is noteworthy for its frequent citations of relevant passages from other works in Aristotle s corpus, which often shed new light on the texts. Reeve s translation is meticulous: it hits the virtuous mean--accurate and technical, yet readable--between translation s vicious extremes of faithlessness and indigestibility.--Jessica Moss, New York University
