This is a close and comprehensive study of the main themes of Aristotle's ethics. Sarah Broadie concentrates on what he has to teach about happiness, virtue, voluntary agency, practical reason, incontinence, pleasure, and the place of theoria in the best life. Never forgetting that ethics for Aristotle is above all a practical enterprise, she sheds new light on ways in which this practical orientation affects both content and method of his inquiry. The book culminates in a sustained argument showing how even Aristotle's ideal of theoretic contemplation in integral to his essentially practical vision of human nature. Ethics with Aristotle is a major contribution toward the further understanding of Aristotle's ethics.
Industry Reviews
"An ideal balance: philosophical substance and scholarly apparatus for advanced undergraduates; comprehensive plan (and Aristotle!) for introductory level study."--Don Asselin, Hillsdale College "Broadie has a knack for engaging the reader in Aristotle's problematic. Her style is lucid and intelligent. A valuable book for students or scholars in the field."--Leonard W. Ortmann, Conception Seminary College "A splendid in-depth treatment....Because of the book's wide scope, and the philosophical depth and originality of its author, Ethics with Aristotle deserves to be recognized as one of the best and most important works on Aristotle's moral philosophy written in recent decades."--Ethics "This is a book from which anyone can learn a great deal about ethics and about Aristotle....It is clearly one of the two best books on Aristotle's ethics to appear in recent years."--New England Classical Newsletter & Journal "Magisterial....A powerful set of insights about how to read Aristotle's ethics and many suggestive ideas about how to do ethics with Aristotle."--Mind "An ideal balance: philosophical substance and scholarly apparatus for advanced undergraduates; comprehensive plan (and Aristotle!) for introductory level study."--Don Asselin, Hillsdale College "Broadie has a knack for engaging the reader in Aristotle's problematic.

It is worthy of being used as the central secondary text in a careful study of the Ethics."--Michael Pakaluk, Clark University "A closely argued study....Ethics With Aristotle is a reliable and well-documented guide to a range of psychological issues in Aristotelian ethical theory."--Religious Studies Review
