Nicomachean Ethics de Aristotle

Nicomachean Ethics

Autor Aristotle Traducere de J E C Weldon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 1987

Observăm în această ediție a lucrării Nicomachean Ethics o structură metodologică riguroasă, menită să ghideze cititorul prin sistemul etic complex al lui Aristotle. Materialul este organizat în zece secțiuni distincte, pornind de la premisa că binele suprem este fericirea, definită nu ca stare pasivă, ci ca activitate a sufletului. Găsim o progresie logică clară: de la definirea virtuților morale și a conceptului de „cale de mijloc” în primele cărți, către analize specifice despre dreptate, raționament practic și importanța prieteniei în viața cetății. Această ediție tradusă de Christopher Byrne se distinge prin efortul de a clarifica lexicul intelectual moștenit de la Stagira, făcând textul mai fluid pentru studenții contemporani fără a sacrifica precizia tehnică.

Suntem de părere că această lucrare trebuie citită în strânsă legătură cu celelalte contribuții majore ale lui Aristotle. Dacă în The Art of Rhetoric autorul explorează mecanismele persuasiunii, iar în De Anima (sau On the Soul) analizează natura funcțiilor vitale, în Nicomachean Ethics el sintetizează aceste direcții pentru a răspunde la întrebarea fundamentală: cum trebuie să trăiască un om pentru a fi împlinit? Prezența anexelor care includ selecții din Politics subliniază viziunea autorului conform căreia virtutea individuală este inseparabilă de contextul social și de stat.

Metodologia editorială a acestui volum este una comparativă. Prin includerea fragmentelor din Republica lui Platon și a comentariilor lui Toma d'Aquino despre legea naturală, ediția oferă o perspectivă asupra modului în care gândirea aristotelică a modelat filosofia occidentală. Este un instrument de lucru esențial pentru curriculumul de filosofie, oferind atât textul primar, cât și contextul istoric necesar pentru a înțelege evoluția conceptelor de etică și moralitate.

Despre autor

Aristotle (384–322 î.Hr.), discipol al lui Platon și educator al lui Alexandru cel Mare, rămâne una dintre cele mai influente figuri ale istoriei intelectuale. Fondator al Liceului din Atena și al școlii peripatetice, el a sistematizat cunoașterea umană într-o gamă vastă de discipline, de la logică și metafizică până la biologie și etică. În Nicomachean Ethics, numită probabil după fiul său, Nicomah, el pune bazele eticii teleologice. Deși doar o treime din opera sa a supraviețuit, scrierile sale rămân piloni centrali în studiul filozofiei, oferind lexicul și metodele de investigație folosite de gândirea occidentală până în prezent.

Descriere scurtă

What is the good life? How can we attain true happiness? How are we to understand the concepts of good, bad, right, wrong, virtue, and vice as they intermingle and pervade the human actions that make up society? In one of the earliest and most comprehensive attempts to offer a systematic treatment of ethics and the principles upon which it rests, the Greek philosopher Aristotle seeks to give substance and meaning to human action and to the manner in which we judge our own behavior and that of others. Here Aristotle not only offers a discussion of morality that later culminated in a full-blown analysis of political life, but he also sets forth principles and advice that served as the touchstone for many subsequent moral philosophies.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'Happiness, then, is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world.'In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life. This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

Aristotle (Greek: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Aristotél¿s, pronounced [aristotél¿¿s]; 384-322 BC)[A] was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects. including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, estheticspoetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion. Little is known about his life. Aristotle was born in the city of Stagira in Northern Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At seventeen or eighteen years of age he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven (c. 347 BC).[4] Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC.[5] He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication.[6] Aristotle's views on physical science profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. Their influence extended from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages into the Renaissance, and were not replaced systematically until the Enlightenment and theories such as classical mechanics. Some of Aristotle's zoological observations found in his biology, such as on the hectocotyl (reproductive) arm of the octopus, were disbelieved until the 19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, studied by medieval scholars such as Peter Abelard and John Buridan. Aristotle's influence on logic also continued well into the 19th century.

Recenzii

"Sachs’s translations of Aristotle are truly exemplary. They combine a rare sensitivity to Aristotle’s use of the Greek language with an English style that is straightforward and imaginative. But what makes Sachs’s translations even more noteworthy is their attunement to the thought that is indicated by Aristotle’s words, an attunement born of a profound awareness of the untranslatability of this thought into modern philosophical concepts. For anyone seriously interested in Aristotle’s philosophy, Sachs’s translations are indispensable."
—Burt Hopkins, Seattle University

"Sachs’s translations are unequaled in making accessible to Greekless readers an Aristotle undistorted by the influence of Latin. In addition, his helpful glossaries not only explain his own translational choices, but also inform readers of common alternatives, thereby enabling them to cope with the secondary literature. His are my translations of choice, for both introductory and advanced courses."
