Aristotle‘s Nicomachean Ethics was something I reread and cannot recommend highly enough.

They say that Aristotle's works were translated first by the Arabs and then transferred back to Europe, after which they were translated back into Greek. It is interesting to think about the process of writing that drove the Arabs to create an Aristotle, to some extent, and we can sense the conceptualist truths of the Arabs to exist in this text, even though it might be really Aristotle to some extent. The secrets of Aristotle might be in here.

LiterRohde Inclusion is understanding. It does not necessarily connote acceptance. 5y
charl08 Love this quote. Says something fundamental about what good teaching can and should be. 5y

Yeah I mean, it‘s pretty solid tbh. It‘s not the end of ethics or anything, but virtue ethics is an accessible form of ethics that can slowly bring out the ideas of how to live the good life in anyone. If you‘re into that I guess.

Essentially 2 ways to be happy. The ultimate way is through a life of philosophical contemplation. The other a virtuous life of public service

QuoteQueen Do you get double happiness if you do both? Lol. Or is that ultimate happiness? 😜 6y

Fun Photo Friday for @Liberty

I have varied tastes and probably read a lot of stuff people haven't heard of, but there is never a shortage in finding something to read!

Would have taken a pic of examples of each kind of book but I'm currently lacking shelving so they are all over the house. Lol

An in-depth and fascinating exploration of what makes a good man good, and what makes a happy man happy. (Especially pleased with J. A. K. Thomson's lively translation.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
