Aristóteles se erige como uno de los filósofos más influyentes de la historia, cuyas obras moldearon el pensamiento occidental a lo largo de los siglos. Su producción abarcó una asombrosa diversidad de temas, desde la lógica y la metafísica hasta la ética, la política y la estética. Su enfoque empírico y su énfasis en la observación, particularmente en biología, sentaron bases cruciales para la investigación científica. El pensamiento aristotélico, complejo y abierto a interpretaciones continuas, sigue generando debate e interés académico, lo que demuestra su perdurable relevancia.
In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle examines the nature of happiness, which he defines as a specially good kind of life. He considers the nature of practical reasoning, friendship, and the role and importance of the moral virtues in the best life. This new edition features a revised translation and valuable new introduction and notes.
Nearly all the works Aristotle (384 322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.
An extended and revised edition of one of the best-selling Cambridge Texts.
Presents the author's mature rejection of both the Platonic theory that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of reality and the hard-headed view that all processes are the material. In this book, the author argued instead that the reality or substance of things lies in their concrete forms.
