On Happiness : Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle

Description

?Happiness

is not a comfortable state of well-being, but an energetic and carefully

considered endeavour to lead a rich and meaningful life. Few books are so suited to stimulating

critical thought about the good life as Aristotle?’s Nicomachean Ethics.

What makes the Ethics so appealing is that Aristotle always remains

realistic, in spite of his high ideals, and is constantly testing his views

against those of others. In Book X of the Ethics, included in this volume,

the great philosopher discusses what happiness [eudaimonia] is and how to

achieve it. (BILINGUAL EDITION)
