Description

Ethics is a philosophical work written by Aristotle, in which he explores the nature of human morality and virtue. In this work, Aristotle seeks to identify the highest good for human beings and determine how individuals can live a good life. Aristotle argues that the ultimate goal of human life is to achieve happiness or eudaimonia, which he defines as a state of complete well-being and fulfillment. He believes that happiness is achieved through the cultivation of virtues, which are habits of behavior that allow individuals to act in ways that promote the common good. Read in English, unabridged.
