This is a new translation of Aristotle's most famous treatise, Nicomachean Ethics. The translator/editor has included extensive endnotes (comprising about half the total page-count of the volume) providing annotation and commentary, much of it explaining unfamiliar terms in Aristotle's own words, as well as an introduction discussing what the work "is about, what is trying to do, what sort of evidence is relevant to its evaluation, and what sort of person has access to such evidence."

An excellent new translation and commentary. It will serve newcomers as an informative, accessible introduction to the Nicomachean Ethics and to many issues in Aristotle’s philosophy, but also has much to offer advanced scholars. The commentary is noteworthy for its frequent citations of relevant passages from other works in Aristotle’s corpus, which often shed new light on the texts. Reeve’s translation is meticulous: it hits the virtuous mean--accurate and technical, yet readable--between translation’s vicious extremes of faithlessness and indigestibility.--Jessica Moss, New York University
