This book, a translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics with an introduction, was praised for its accessibility and described as a "greatest hits album" of Aristotelian thought. The host noted that the title was better than the original title of the text.
I thought the book was really interesting
this is like it's like a nice greatest hits album or way to reread the books with a good intro and just get a bunch of stuff that you vaguely remember reading but then you're you're getting to see for a second or third time.
I know Aristotle didn't choose the title but whoever chose the title did not do a good job of titling the text itself
your title is spectacular
I think people people tend to see the philosophical works as these books written by people with unpronounceable names although Aristotle and Plato and Socrates have the three most pronounceable names but you know that it's their titles you can't pronounce written by names you can't pronounce that don't that don't necessarily give you anything in terms of the promise or the potential of the work so even ethics right a small percentage of the population unfortunately is going to sit down and go you know what I need I need to ground myself in ancient ethical thought versus I would very much like to flourish
