Postscript: The Transition to Politics (X ix; 1179a33-1181b23) -- Appendix: Aristotle's World.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 expands 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, translation 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 PhilosophybisacshLivres numeriques.e-books.Electronic books.
