An Introduction to Aristotle's Ethics: Books I-IV (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Aristotle's Ethics to beginners in the subject, and is suitable for a modern audience. It aims to provide a clear and simple understanding of the main questions and concepts of Aristotelian ethics. The author begins by distinguishing ethics from religion, highlighting their different purposes and spheres of inquiry. The author then delves into Aristotle's answers to four main questions in ethics: What constitutes the difference between right and wrong in actions?; What is the faculty in ourselves which is able to recognise that difference?; What is the nature of the feeling of duty or moral obligation?; What is the chief good, or ultimate aim of human action? The author explores various ethical theories and systems that attempt to solve these questions, such as utilitarian, intuitive, and sentimentalist theories. The author also discusses Aristotle's views on happiness as the ultimate goal of human action and the different types of happiness that can be achieved. The book thus serves as a valuable guide to understanding Aristotle's ethical theories and their relevance to contemporary ethical issues.
