'Happiness, then, is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world.' In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life. This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
把王阳明的良知和亚里士多德的实践智慧联系起来进行比较并不是偶然和随意的,因为我们可以发现二者有着很多类似之处。 首先,致良知和实践智慧都是揭示“真理”的根本方式。 王阳明认为,真知即所以为行,不行不足谓之知。他提出的致良知就是达到真理(也即良知)的根本方式...
评分 评分这是我第一次看这么有深度的书,说实话没有完全明白里面的很多东西,但对我的影响应该算是非常大的。懂得了伦理学中基本的常识,明白了作为人应该具备的思想境界和力求达到的境界或者要追求的境界。整本书以德性作为贯穿始终的线索,论述了善对于一切事物的重要性,追求善、追...
评分英文不行的我一上来看这种真的很吃力,沉没在每个字句的意思中而对整体脉络丝毫没有感觉,复习的时候乖乖去读中文了……大量复杂的从句导致我必须用笔划分句子结构才能读下去(因此好像对读其他论文和日常英语的能力没有多大提高,因为写法实在不太一样),另外virtue、reason这种词既是概念术语又在论证中作为日常逻辑用语使用,不知道是只能翻译成这样还是有改进的可能……
评分粗略过了一遍,标志着这个学期三分之一最闲暇时间的过去。通过重复总结和概括尽力让读者看懂,然而句子实在太复杂,我陷落在that和its丛林中。
评分不知道是不是英文翻译的问题,只觉得啰嗦无趣...同时在读的Aristotle的politics那本就棒很多
评分Aristotle比他老师Plato老人家好读多了;Friendship自古至今都是一个没被study透彻的concept啊。
