Abstract

This book examines Aristotle's ethical doctrines as they are expounded in the work known as the Nicomachean Ethics (EN). Two other works on ethics have come down as Aristotle's, the Eudemian Ethics (EE) and the Great Ethics or Magna Moralia. This chapter briefly refers to the general character of these other two treatises, and to the variety of the opinions which have been held by scholars about their relations to the Nicomachean Ethics. It also describes the characteristics of the Nicomachean Ethics. The discussion aims to anticipate some of the questions which the non-specialist reader is likely to have in mind about Aristotle's ethical writings.
