About the product What is good? What is happiness? What is virtue? What is free will and who is responsible for the fate and well-being of a person? This is the argument of the supporter of reasonable behavior and moderation in everything, the great philosopher Aristotle. Three works on ethics have come down to us: «Eudem’s Ethics», «Nicomachean Ethics» and The Great Ethics. The question of whether these writings belong to Aristotle is still a matter of debate. The author of «Eudemus Ethics» was most likely Evdem of Rhodes, a student of Aristotle, who may have revised the work of his teacher. «Great Ethics», which is actually just a small treatise summarizing the ethical views of Aristotle, was written by a peripatetic — an unknown student of the philosopher. And only about «Nicomachean Ethics» can be said with certainty that its author was the great thinker himself. The last two works are included in the proposed collection, and «Nicomachean Ethics» is published in E. Radlov’s translation, which has not been published either in the USSR or in modern Russia.
