Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

Translated by Terence Irwin (Hackett).

Cycle 03 — Philosophy.

Framing

Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics opens the question that runs through all four books of Cycle 03: what does it mean to live well, and how does someone learn that life rather than merely know it? In Aristotle’s hands, virtue becomes a practice — habit repeated until it sits in the bone.
