Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics, Vol. 6: With Essays, Notes, and Translation

Description: This book, a staple within the study of Ethics, concerns the nature of intellectual goodness. The author suggests that intellectual goodness is of two main types—one related to practical reason, the other solely to the pursuit of knowledge. Within these two main types, the author further divides each into more specific branches of knowledge. Of particular importance is the section on theoretical wisdom, which concerns the highest level of knowledge that may be achieved by humans. This is achieved through logical reasoning, referred to as syllogistic reasoning, from true and necessary premises to reach an equally true conclusion. While the author argues that theoretical wisdom does not lead to the formation of new premises, it is necessary for determining the validity of arguments and conclusions. The author goes on to discuss the nature of practical wisdom, the good, and the characteristics of the virtuous person. Ultimately, this book provides a framework for understanding the different types of knowledge that humans can possess and how they contribute to our overall understanding of the world.
