Nicomachean Ethics

Joe Sach''s edition of Aristotle''s Nicomachean Ethics is a lucid and useful translation of one of Aristotle''s major works for the student of undergraduate philosophy, as well as for the general reader interested in the major works of western civilization. Includes an introductory essay and a glossary of words and concepts.

"Sachs’s translations of Aristotle are truly exemplary. They combine a rare sensitivity to Aristotle’s use of the Greek language with an English style that is straightforward and imaginative. But what makes Sachs’s translations even more noteworthy is their attunement to the thought that is indicated by Aristotle’s words, an attunement born of a profound awareness of the untranslatability of this thought into modern philosophical concepts. For anyone seriously interested in Aristotle’s philosophy, Sachs’s translations are indispensable."
