Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle's treatise delves into the nature of ethics and morality, defining happiness as the ultimate human goal achieved through virtuous actions. It examines the concept of virtue, its acquisition, and its connection to justice, friendship, and pleasure. Emphasizing practical wisdom and reason in ethical choices, Aristotle also discusses the interplay between ethics and politics, advocating for a state's role in fostering virtue among citizens. This foundational work remains influential in philosophical discourse, offering a rich exploration of ethical thought.
