The \u003cem\u003eEudemian Ethics \u003c\/em\u003eis\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eincreasingly read and used by scholars as a useful support and confirmation and sometimes contrast to the \u003cem\u003eNicomachean Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e. Yet, it remains a largely neglected work in the study of Aristotle's ethics, both among scholars and moral philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter L. P. Simpson provides an analytical outline of the entire work together with summaries of each individual section, making the overall structure and detailed argument clear. His translation and explanatory notes include the common books that the \u003cem\u003eEudemian\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e shares with the \u003cem\u003eNicomachean\u003c\/em\u003e. This translation contains renderings of words and phrases, and proposals for emending the text that differ from what other translators and scholars have adopted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis translation is literal, without expansion or paraphrase, and yet also readable. A readable but literal translation is necessary because in the \u003cem\u003eEudemian Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e, more than usual in Aristotle's writings, the logic of the argumentation can turn on the peculiar wording or order. Simpson explains the argumentation where necessary in notes and separate explanatory comments. This book is a fresh, twenty-first-century rendition of the work of one of the most eminent philosophers of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter L.
