The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle

Aristotle, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, focuses on practical ethics in his Nicomachean Ethics, aiming to guide individuals toward goodness in their lives. Unlike theoretical explorations, it serves as a manual for moral development. Similarly, his work Politics adopts a broader perspective, emphasizing the role of a law-giver in fostering the common good within a community. Together, these texts highlight Aristotle's commitment to practical philosophy and the cultivation of virtue in both personal and societal contexts.
