In it, he argues that happiness consists in &#147;activity of the soul in accordance with virtue,&#148; defining &#147;virtue&#148; as both moral (courage, generosity, and justice) and intellectual (knowledge, wisdom, and insight). Aristotle also discusses the nature of practical reasoning, the different forms of friendship, and the relationship between individual virtue and the state. Featuring a lucid translation, a new introduction, updated suggestions for further reading, and a chronology of Aristotle's life and works, this is the authoritative edition of a seminal intellectual masterpiece. 2919427 book 1 The Nicomachean Ethics total:1935|5:570|4:668|3:533|2:138|1:26| 1935 7423 2754 108 5 1 false false Wed Oct 08 12:18:03 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 12:18:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jan 02 17:49:01 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 22:26:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Mon Nov 24 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 12:17:37 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 20:34:41 -0800 2008
