C. C. W. Taylor presents a clear and faithful new translation of one of the most famous and influential texts in the history of Western thought, accompanied by an analytical and critical commentary focusing on philosophical issues. In Books II to IV of the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle gives his account of virtue of character, which is central to his ethical theory as a whole and a key topic in much modern ethical writing.
Christopher Taylor provides, for students and professionals alike, a helpfully close translation of, and much useful commentary on, the second, third, and fourth books of the Nicomachean Ethics . . . a translation that eminently meets the goals of the Clarendon series: it is accurate, readable, and accompanied by a philosophically-oriented commentary . . . the commentary is a highly informed, often insightful, frequently illuminating guide . . . that will certainly repay close study, whatever one's prior level of expertise on Aristotle's ethics might be. . . this is a volume I am very pleased to recommend, to specialists and non-specialists alike * Allan Gotthelf, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
