The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle #261801

IN giving to the public this translation of the Nicoma chean Ethics of Aristotle, the Translator acknowledges the obligations he is under to former versions. He has not hesitated to adopt such portions of them as appeared to him to convey accurately the meaning of the author, whilst he has entirely retranslated such as he thought failed in this respect. Every passage, however, has been in all cases care fully compared with the original. The text generally fol lowed has been that of Cardwell, but Bekker's has been also consulted, and his readings adopted wherever they appeared preferable.
