The Nicomachean Ethics - Book III - (FULL Audio Book)

The Nicomachean Ethics (FULL Audio Book)
by Aristotle (384 BCE - 322 BCE)
Translated by Thomas Taylor (1758-1835)
The work consists of ten books, originally separate scrolls, and is understood to be based on notes said to be from his lectures at the Lyceum which were either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus. In many ways this work parallels the similar Eudemian Ethics, which has only eight books, and the two works can be fruitfully compared. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nicomachean Ethics are identical to Books IV, V, and VI of the Eudemian Ethics. Opinions about the relationship between the two works, for example which was written first, and which originally contained the three common books, is divided. Aristotle describes his ethical work as being different from his other kinds of study, because it is not just for the sake of contemplating what things are, but rather to actually become good ourselves. It is therefore practical rather than theoretical in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. (Summary from Wikipedia)

I enjoy this resource a lot. No need to attack his voice. You don't have to listen to it at all. Your comment sounds pretty base to me.

@@cameolindgren3093 It's the nature of the book really not the chap's fault( but the comment is 6 years old). The book is a manuel. Most people who complain imagined such books to be like literature, pleasant. But it's really aims at people who are already "energised" towards such investigations. Also the translation from ancient Greek makes it more difficult to understand.

@@jackdarby2168 Its also aristotle's lecture notes. Non of these are his best work:/ lost in history

[@TeslaDystopia]

@@dermomedia It's also a 200-year-old translation, much more difficult to read or listen to with a 21st-century brain because the English flows differently. Certain words have been translated much more smoother in even 50-year-old translations.
