Publisher's Synopsis

'a work of permanent value from the exact scholarship, the very wide reading, the scrupulous and objective judgement, and the temperamental sympathy brought to bear upon it'-John Murray

Notes on the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle by J. A. Stewart (1846-1933) is one of the definitive reference works on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and is still widely cited by today's scholars of ancient philosophy.

Nicomachean Ethics is at the heart of Aristotle's ethical writings. In it he carries out a systematic investigation of the foundation of ethics, analysing the criteria of certain moral values, and drawing upon and re-examining the beliefs and values of the Greek society of the time. Stewart systematically breaks down each book of the Ethics and presents a detailed textual analysis of Aristotle's moral philosophy in a concise, simple manner. Gathering information from a wide range of philosophical commentators on this subject, both ancient and modern, his extensive and thorough notes will help the student of ancient philosophy master Aristotle's Ethics in the context of his entire philosophy.
