Sir Anthony Kenny presents a second edition of his landmark work The Aristotelian Ethics, which transformed Aristotle studies in 1978 by showing, on stylistic, historical, and philosophical grounds that the Eudemian Ethics was a mature work with as strong a claim to be Aristotle's ethical masterpiece as the more widely studied Nicomachean Ethics.
Review from previous edition 'In The Aristotelian Ethics Anthony Kenny uses the tools of philosopher, classicist, and statistician to solve the mystery of the true home of the books common to the Eudemian and Nicomachean Ethics. . . Kenny's project is ambitious, and there is much to be learned from its painstaking analyses of problem passages and its uncovering of neglected tracts in the Eudemian.'
