Postscript: The Transition to Politics (X ix; 1179a33–1181b23) -- Afterword -- Appendix: Aristotle's World -- Notes -- Glossary -- References -- Index This is the first book in modern times that makes sense of the Nicomachean Ethics in its entirety as an interesting philosophical argument, rather than as a compilation of relatively independent essays. In Taking Life Seriously Francis Sparshott expounds Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as a single continuous argument, a chain of reasoned exposition on the problems of human life. He guides the reader through the whole text passage by passage, showing how every part of it makes sense in the light of what has gone before, as well as indicating problems in Aristotle's argument.No knowledge of Greek is required. When the argument does depend on the precise wording of the Greek text, translations and explanatory notes are provided, and there is a glossary of Greek terms. Sparshott offers insightful and useful criticism, making Taking Life Seriously the best available companion to a first reading of the Ethics.Toronto studies in philosophy.PHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral PhilosophybisacshElectronic books.PHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral Philosophy.171/.3Sparshott Francis Edward1926-122312MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456361603321Taking life seriously2442812UNINA
