The \u003ci\u003eEthics \u003c\/i\u003ehas had an unquestionably profound impact on all subsequent Western philosophy, law, and theology--from the works of Dante Alighieri to modern \"virtue ethics.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this new translation, preeminent scholar Robin Waterfield masterfully renders Aristotle's indispensable work into readable English. \u003ci\u003eNicomachean Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e argues that human happiness can be achieved through virtuous action, as typified by a \"golden mean\" of behavior between extremes.
