Sommario/riassunto |

"Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, based on lectures that he gave in Athens in the fourth century BCE, is one of the most significant works of moral philosophy ever written. Aristotle, though of course influenced by the works of Plato, diverges sharply from his predecessor by making the practice, rather than the possession, of virtue the key to human happiness. By converting ethics from a theoretical to a practical science, and by introducing psychology into his study of behaviour, Aristotle both widened the field of moral philosophy and simultaneously made it more accessible to anyone who seeks an understanding of human nature. The theory of 'Virtue Ethics' Aristotle put forward still continues to be a major position of ethical thought to this day, his influence being strongly present in the work of Elizabeth Anscombe, Phillipa Foot and Alisdair McIntyre."--Bloomsbury Publishing |

Sommario/riassunto |

Wellington added a Judge-Advocate-General to his staff in 1812 "to ensure that courts-martial were conducted with proper forms and due appreciation of the validity of evidence - in which the commander-in-chief considered that they had often failed . . . Larpent, who has left an interesting diary of his duties and his personal adventures [he was captured briefly in 1813 but immediately exchanged], discharged the function of this office . . . down to the end of the war" (Oman, Wellington's Army pp. 159-160). "When in the Peninsula, Larpent wrote descriptive letters to his stepmother, Anna Margaretta Larpent. Publication of this important first-hand account of Wellington's headquarters was deferred until after Wellington's death. The letters were edited, with a biographical preface by Larpent's half-brother, Sir George Larpent, first baronet (1786-1855), in 1853 and passed through three editions in the same year" (Oxford DNB).Author -- Larpent, F. Seymour 1776-1845.Editor -- Larpent, George, Sir, 1786-1855.Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published inLondon: R. Bentley, 1853.Original Page Count - 293 pages. |
