A volume of essays on Aristotelian ethics. Taken together, they provide an analysis of central arguments in Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics". Individually, they show the enduring interest of the questions that Aristotle himself raises, in the context of his own discussions.
The ethics of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), and virtue ethics in general, have enjoyed a resurgence of interest over the past few decades. Aristotelian themes, with such issues as the importance of friendship and emotions in a good life, the role of moral perception in wise choice, the nature of happiness and its constitution, moral education and habituation, are finding an important place in contemporary moral debates. Taken together, the essays in this volume provide a close analysis of central arguments in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and show the enduring interest of the questions Aristotle raises.
