Nicomachean Ethics de Aristotle

Nicomachean Ethics

Autor Aristotle Christopher Byrne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2025
Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is a book of enduring relevance that aims to answer the question of how human beings should live. Much, however, has changed since the time of ancient Greece, and the meanings of words aren’t static. The goal of Christopher Byrne’s new translation is thus to make Aristotle accessible to modern readers who share in the common humanity of Aristotle’s world but don’t share his vocabulary or his culture. This goal is also served through a concise introduction, chronologies of Aristotle’s life and of his philosophical impact, and extensive clarifying footnotes. Also included in this edition are appendices outlining the book’s main argument and the many virtues under discussion, as well as illuminating passages from Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotle’s other writings.

Recenzii

Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is a book of enduring relevance that aims to answer the question of how human beings should live. Much, however, has changed since the time of ancient Greece, and the meanings of words aren’t static. The goal of Christopher Byrne’s new translation is thus to make Aristotle accessible to modern readers who share in the common humanity of Aristotle’s world but don’t share his vocabulary or his culture. This goal is also served through a concise introduction, chronologies of Aristotle’s life and of his philosophical impact, and extensive clarifying footnotes. Also included in this edition are appendices outlining the book’s main argument and the many virtues under discussion, as well as illuminating passages from Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotle’s other writings.

“Christopher Byrne has given us a refreshingly new translation of the Nicomachean Ethics. It renders the ancient Greek text accurately and yet flows smoothly in contemporary English. He has provided students with a text much more accessible than other available translations.” — Paul Schollmeier, University of Las Vegas
“Byrne’s new edition offers a helpful resource for students and teachers of the text. His translation is clear and readable. I’m particularly impressed with the appendices, which bring relevant Aristotelian and Platonic passages to bear on the Ethics. Byrne also traces Aristotle’s influence throughout history by including passages from Aquinas and outlining various historical engagements with his work through the modern virtue ethics tradition.” — Anne-Marie Schultz, Baylor University
“Byrne’s translation is meticulous and careful in its scholarship, neatly capturing the spirit of Aristotle’s arguments and method while avoiding the clichés and stereotypes that have crept into other standard editions. Scholars and students alike will benefit from this thorough and highly readable edition.” — Louis Groarke, St. Francis Xavier University
“This is the perfect book for teaching the Nicomachean Ethics. The translation is disciplined and clear. The notes provide useful information while avoiding scholarly quibbles. The introduction includes a brisk but lucid account of how Aristotle sees ethics as the organized quest for happiness. The bibliography is sufficient, not suffocating. In short, the book hits the mean between bare text and ponderous commentary—exactly right for attracting and captivating a serious student.” — John Thorp, University of Western Ontario

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.
