Nicomachean Ethics

By (author) Aristotle; Translated by Irwin, Terence
Description:
Terence Irwin’s edition of the Nicomachean Ethics offers more aids to the reader than are found in any modern English translation. It includes an Introduction, headings to help the reader follow the argument, explanatory notes on difficult or important passages, and a full glossary explaining Aristotle’s technical terms.
 
The Third Edition offers additional revisions of the translation as well as revised and expanded versions of the notes, glossary, and Introduction. Also new is an appendix featuring translated selections from related texts of Aristotle.
Review quote:
"The translation is absolutely reliable and is supplemented with notes that highlight any and all possible problems. Rich and easy to use. I love that 40 pages of supplementary texts from Aristotle are included. . . . Sometimes new editions seem pointless. This is worth it!"
—James C. Klagge, Virginia Tech
Review quote:
"I will certainly be using this third edition in the fall semester and subsequent semester. The second edition was already very good. This new edition makes it even better with its improved translation, expanded notes, and invaluable glossary."
—Peter Tumulty, St. Michael''s College, VT
