Notes of primarily textual importance have been omitted, leaving only those of more general philosophical interest the index has been adapted for this edition and there is a new Introduction by the translator. Aristotle describes his ethical work as being different from his other kinds of study, because it is not just for the sake of contemplating what things are, but rather to actually become good ourselves. One of the philosophers most studied works, the Nicomachean Ethics, is here made available in the same translation in the Worlds Classics. Opinions about the relationship between the two works, for example which was written first, and which originally contained the three common books, is divided. The Nicomachean Ethics by the Greek philosopher Aristotle is one of the earliest treatises on the nature of good actions or ethics. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nicomachean Ethics are identical to Books IV, V, and VI of the Eudemian Ethics. In many ways this work parallels the similar Eudemian Ethics, which has only eight books, and the two works can be fruitfully compared. The work consists of ten books, originally separate scrolls, and is understood to be based on notes said to be from his lectures at the Lyceum which were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. Translated by Thomas Taylor (1758 - 1835) The Nicomachean Ethics (/ n a k m k i n / / n k m k i n / Ancient Greek:, thika Nikomacheia) is Aristotles best-known work on ethics: the science of the good for human life, that which is the goal or end at which all our actions aim.: I.2 It consists of ten books or scrolls, and is closely related to Aristotles Eudemian.
