This book examines Aristotle's three ethical works-the Magna Moralia, the Eudemian Ethics, and the Nicomachean Ethics. The first book in English that studies all three texts in detail and compares them systematically, Aristotle's Ethical Works argues that we can trace a development in his thought by looking at these texts.
Terence Irwin examines Aristotle's three ethical works-the Magna Moralia, the Eudemian Ethics, and the Nicomachean Ethics. This collection is the first in English to study all three texts in detail and compare them systematically. Aristotle's Ethical Works argues that we can trace a development in his thought by analysing these texts.
The main elements of Aristotle's moral philosophy are shown to be common to all three works, but their exposition and defence becomes clearer and more convincing in his later discussions. While the Nicomachean Ethics is the clearest account of Aristotle's ethics, we can understand its position better by seeing how Aristotle arrived at it.
This is the first English commentary on the Greek text of the Eudemian Ethics and Magna Moralia, as well as the first work in English to examine in detail the questions about the authorship of the Magna Moralia. The conclusion, that this is Aristotle's first work on ethics, is defended throughout the Notes and Essays. The Notes on the Nicomachean Ethics also provide the first English commentary for over a century.
