The Aristotelian ethics : a study of the relationship between the "Eudemian" and "Nicomachean ethics" of Aristotle

Sir Anthony Kenny presents a second edition of his landmark work __The Aristotelian Ethics__, which transformed Aristotle studies in 1978 by showing, on stylistic, historical, and philosophical grounds, that the __Eudemian Ethics__ was a mature work with as strong a claim to be Aristotle's ethical masterpiece as the more widely studied __Nicomachean Ethics__. In this new edition Kenny offers a critical survey of developments in the field since __The Aristotelian Ethics__ was first published. Kenny also addresses the criticisms of his first edition, both accepting those he sees as justified and addressing and refuting those which he feels are unfounded. The book remains essential reading for anyone interested in Aristotle's ethical works, arguably the most influential ever written. "This book is an attempt to solve a long-standing problem of Aristotelian scholarship on the basis of historical and philosophical arguments and a statistical study of features of style. It presents a detailed study of the relationship between the Eudemian and Nichomachean Ethics of Aristotle. The book provides a synthesis of three disciplines: philosophy, classical studies, and statistics" -- University Press Scholarship Online In this second edition Anthony Kenny offers a critical survey of developments in the field since the texct was first published.
