Nicomachean Ethics

Nicomachean Ethics, written by Aristotle in the 4th century BCE, is one of the foundational texts of Western philosophy. The work explores the nature of human happiness, virtue, and the good life. Aristotle proposes that ethical behavior arises from habituation and reason, culminating in a life of “eudaimonia”—flourishing through moral excellence. The text remains essential to discussions of ethics, politics, and personal development, offering insights into character, friendship, and practical wisdom that continue to resonate today.
