The Nicomachean Ethics

Focusing on the science of the good for human life, this influential work explores the foundations of ethics and its relationship to political science. Comprising ten books, it is believed to be derived from Aristotle's lecture notes at the Lyceum. The title likely honors his son Nicomachus, though it may also refer to his father. This text is pivotal in articulating Aristotelian ethics, emphasizing the purpose behind human actions and the pursuit of the good as the ultimate aim of life.
