Review:

Christopher Taylor provides, for students and professionals alike, a helpfully close translation of, and much useful commentary on, the second, third, and fourth books of the Nicomachean Ethics . . . a translation that eminently meets the goals of the Clarendon series: it is accurate, readable, and accompanied by a philosophically-oriented commentary . . . the commentary is a highly informed, often insightful, frequently illuminating guide . . . that will certainly repay close study, whatever one's prior level of expertise on Aristotle's ethics might be. . . this is a volume I am very pleased to recommend, to specialists and non-specialists alike * Allan Gotthelf, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
