Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Book VII cover

A distinguished international team of scholars under the editorship of Carlo Natali have collaborated to produce a systematic, chapter-by-chapter study of one of the most influential texts in the history of moral philosophy. The seventh book of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics discusses weakness of will in its first ten chapters, then turns in the last four chapters to pleasure and its relation to the supreme human good.

Each essay provides a detailed commentary on the relevant part of Book VII... the chapters are uniformly of a high quality, and each has something fresh to say about a text on the whole has received a great deal of attention * Robert Mayhew, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
an illuminating set of discussions on exegetical and philosophical themes from the different but complementary perspectives of prominent scholars in the field. * Paula Gottlieb, Polis *
