What does it mean to live well rather than merely feel good? This original English introduction follows Aristotle through flourishing, virtue, habit, practical wisdom, friendship, justice, the four causes, logic, and political life. Eighteen concise chapters use contemporary examples to test his arguments while confronting the exclusions and mistaken claims in his account of nature and citizenship.
