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. 410 0$aToronto studies in philosophy. 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral Philosophy$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral Philosophy. 676 $a171/.3 700 $aSparshott$b Francis Edward$f1926-$0122312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456361603321 996 $aTaking life seriously$92442812 997 $aUNINA
