In the work, Aristotle investigates what the good life consists of: happiness, character, moral and intellectual virtues, responsibility, and practical reason.

Reference work for philosophy students and general readers interested in classical ethics.
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings span the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
