Description

Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle is one of the most influential works in Western philosophy, offering a comprehensive exploration of human virtue, happiness, and moral reasoning.

He defines virtue as a balance between extremes, known as the “golden mean,” and emphasizes the importance of practical wisdom in making ethical decisions. Aristotle’s ethics are rooted in the idea that moral virtues are habits that must be cultivated through practice and reason. Nicomachean Ethics has shaped ethical thought for centuries, influencing both ancient and modern conceptions of morality and human behavior.
