It bequeathed to the world an emphasis on virtues and vices, happiness as well-being or a life well lived, and rationally motivated action as a mean between extremes. Its influence was felt well beyond antiquity into the Middle Ages, particularly through the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. In the past century, with the rise of virtue theory in moral philosophy, Aristotle's ethics has been revived as a source of insight and interest. While most attention has traditionally focused on Aristotle's famous\u003ci\u003e Nicomachean Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e, there are several other works written by or attributed to Aristotle that illuminate his ethics: the \u003ci\u003eEudemian Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eMagna Moralia\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVirtues and Vices.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book brings together all four of these important texts, in thoroughly revised versions of the translations found in the authoritative complete works universally recognized as the standard English edition. Edited and introduced by two of the world's leading scholars of ancient philosophy, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the ethical thought of one of the most important philosophers in the Western tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Barnes\u003c\/b\u003e taught at the universities of Oxford, Geneva, and Paris-Sorbonne.
