Opis

In Books VIII and IX of his masterpiece of moral philosophy, the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle gives perhaps the most famous of all philosophical discussions of friendship. Michael Pakaluk presents the first systematic study in English of these books, showing how important Aristotle's treatment of friendship is to his ethics as a whole. Pakaluk's fresh and scrupulously accurate translation is accompanied by a detailed philosophical commentary.

Recenzje

Pakaluk's version is clear, regularly faithful to the Greek, and largely free of supplements that lack a clear warrant....He draws attention to difficulties that might be missed but that anyone who would want to understand Aristotle's text must face.
