Timeless wisdom - as relevant today as ever

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

Having read various summaries of Thomas Aquinas epic Summa Theologica (and a few sections of the very book) I was keen on tracing back to the inspiration of Thomas Aquinas masterpiece - Aristotle and his Nicomachean Ethics.

For being 2350 years old, the wisdom contained in the book is timeless and is as relevant today as it was when it was written 350 BC as it relates to human character and behaviour. Aristotle did not hesitate to treat fundamental questions such as the meaning of life, where he infers that the meaning of life must be the pursuit of happiness. Evidentally he concludes that virtuous behaviour contributes to happiness and accordingly virtuous behaviour is critical to a meaningful life, which is well in line with Thomas Aquinas and subsequent Christian thinkers.

Among key topics in the book are Aristotle's treatise of virtues as a balance between two extremes, where he distinguishes between moral and intellectual virtues.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics offers useful tools for the analysis of proper conduct and serves as a guideline and a stable moral platform in a high pace modern world where people all too often strive for futile objectives, driven by greed and fear.

OK As a review

It's a good way to catch up and review Aristotle's Ethics in your car. However, the narrator is a bit monotonous. Also there is no substitute for actually reading the Ethics, underlining, writing comments, etc.

The idea of making an improvement through change was brilliant. However

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Aristotle is, without a doubt, the Father of Logic. To call for virtue that early of the years must've been immense. Considering he was a student of Plato, who was the student of Socrates, the Father of Philosophy himself, makes that entire scene a thrill. It must’ve been an overwhelming school of thought at a time where the world was a tiny toy in the hands of the powerful. The idea of making an improvement through change was brilliant. However, to make a change through improvement could be a mystery, since that improvement may be a setback in someone else's views. With all due humility, we are in no status to rate Aristotle or his ethics. Nicomachean Ethics is the appropriate arena to get acquainted with what this great philosopher has contributed to knowledge.

Tricky stuff to read on a kindle

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I learned a valuable lesson here, do NOT read philosophy on a Kindle. I wish I had ordered the book, because it was very hard to follow things (or find earlier sections) with the Kindle version I used. The book is good, and I can definitely see the foundation of various philosophies in Aristotle's text. I just wish I had seen it in a paper book! I love my Kindle, but clearly it is not right for everything!

Aristotle and his thinking has served mankind 2500 years. He influenced everyone who wished to know how to answer all the questions that pose significant problems. No this wont tell you how to rig the stock market or who will win the next powerball drawing.

Carefully and impeccably the Ethics study the how and why we should live and conduct ourselves in the company of our fellow humans. Look closely and you will see Aristotle leaning over the shoulder of the world's greatest thinkers.

Aristotle is fundamental to understanding our civilization, along with the Bible to see how we as a society behave.

Foundation in Ethics and Values

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

A classic of philosophy. I was an Engineer in college, now trying to catch up on the classics and rules for living. I find Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle fascinating and this book is central. We could talk about how this fits with Machiavelli and current politics, but I'll avoid that for now.

So much to read, so little time. Many great philosophers that can teach us some much even today. Aristotle is always thought-provoking and eloquent. There are many lesson we can all learn from in this work.
