Happy Lives and the Highest Good: An Essay on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
Gabriel Richardson Lear
Presents an approach to a debate about Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: whether it coherently argues that the best life for humans is one devoted to a single activity, namely philosophical contemplation. This book argues that in Aristotle's view, we may act for the sake of an end not just by instrumentally bringing it but also by approximating it.
