	SparkNotes: Nicomachean Ethics: Context
		Aristotle was born at Stagira in northern Greece in 384 b.c.
		Ethics is just one of a number of fields that Aristotle classifies as “practical science.” Unlike the natural sciences, which examine the world around us, these sciences deal with the practical aspects of human society and how best to arrange this society.
		While the Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotle’s most popular work on ethics, there is a second work called the Eudemian Ethics, which is far less widely read.

	Aristotle: Nichomachean Ethics
		Ethics is not, in other words, an exact science which is going to deliver certainty in all moral questions.
		Aristotle wants to ground the study of ethics in empirical enquiry (that is, on the observation of what really happens) and to deny that from the study of moral questions we are going to achieve certainty.
		That is the reason he initially insists that the study of ethics is fit only for those who by their education and upbringing already have some practice and sense of virtuous and non-virtuous conduct.

	Aristotle's Ethics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Only the Nicomachean Ethics discusses the close relationship between ethical inquiry and politics; only the Nicomachean Ethics examines Solon's dictum that no man should be counted happy until he is dead; and only the Nicomachean Ethics gives a series of arguments for the superiority of the philosophical life to the political life.
		He insists that ethics is not a theoretical discipline: we are asking what the good for human beings is not simply because we want to have knowledge, but because we will be better able to achieve our good if we develop a fuller understanding of what it is to flourish.
		Book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics is identical to Book VI of the Eudemian Ethics; for unknown reasons, the editor of the former decided to include within it both the treatment of pleasure that is unique to that work (X.1-5) and the study that is common to both treatises (VII.11-14).

	Nicomachean Ethics - Definition, explanation
		Scholars assume that the Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian Ethics were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son and pupil Nicomachus, and his disciple Eudemus respectively.
		The Nicomachean Ethics is considered to be one of the major instances of such virtue ethics.
		In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle tries to address the traditional Greek virtues (Greek: αρετη arete) of his time, in large part accepting contemporary virtues and explaining them.

	Aristotle: Ethics
		Ethics I 7) Thus, human beings should aim at a life in full conformity with their rational natures; for this, the satisfaction of desires and the acquisition of material goods are less important than the achievement of virtue.
		Ethics III 3) Although virtue is different from intelligence, then, the acquisition of virtue relies heavily upon the exercise of that intelligence.
		Ethics VII 1) This may appear to be a simple failure of intelligence, Aristotle acknowledged, since the akratic individual seems not to draw the appropriate connection between the general moral rule and the particular case to which it applies.

	Nicomachean Ethics
		Aristotle's work in the Nicomachean Ethics is considered one of his greatest achievements, and by extension, one of the greatest pieces of philosophy from the ancient world.
		It is in the Nicomachean Ethics that Aristotle proposes the Doctrine of the Mean - he states that virtue is a 'mean state', that is, it aims for the mean or middle ground.
		She does a good job explicating the Ethics in a reasonable and general way, given a lot of the dispute over the most basic analytic concepts in the literature (for instance the inclusive-dominant debate over eudaimonia).

	ARISTOTLE'S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS: Introduction
		In the Prologue of "Desires, Right and Wrong", Adler states his conviction that 'Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics was the only eminently practical, philosophically sound, and thoroughly undogmatic treatise in moral philosophy that had been written in the twenty-five centuries of Western thought.' Adler is right.
		In Aristotle's words, towards the end of the Ethics: 'For the many naturally obey fear, not shame; they avoid what is base because of penalties, not because it is disgraceful.
		Living by passion they pursue their own pleasures and the means to them, and avoid the opposite pains, and have not even a conception of what is noble and truly pleasant, since they have never tasted it.

	enlightenment: Carolyn Ray: Eudaimonia in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
		This and the other two pieces, Friendship in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Egoism in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, work together to present the case that altruism is utterly foreign to Aristotle's ethics and that egoism is his implicit doctrine, despite typical mainstream commentator's interpretations.
		Although the independent study and the papers were not undertaken with this goal in mind (the purpose of the study was simply to familiarize the author with the philosopher's broader work in preparation for advanced study of his metaphysics and epistemology), nevertheless the text forced these conclusions.
		At the level at which I have so far studied, the Nicomachean Ethics seems unproblematic, though demanding in the sense that Aristotle seems to find so many of his connections too obvious to explain.
