Book Title: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: A Critical Guide (Cambridge Critical Guides) Book Author: Jon Miller (Editor) Series: Cambridge Critical Guides Hardcover: 300 pages Publisher: Cambridge University Press (September 30, 2011) Language: English ISBN-10: 0521514487 ISBN-13: 978-0521514484 Book Description Publication Date: September 30, 2011 Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the most important ethical treatises ever written, and has had a profound influence on the subsequent development of ethics and moral psychology. This collection of newly-commissioned essays, written by both senior and younger scholars in the field, presents a thorough and close examination of the work. The essays address a broad range of issues including the compositional integrity of the Ethics, the nature of desire, the value of emotions, happiness, and the virtues. The result is a volume which will challenge and advance the scholarship on the Ethics, establishing new ways of viewing and appreciating the work for all scholars of Aristotle.  Review "...a new and somewhat unprecedented (at least in Aristotle scholarship) genre of collection.... Jon Miller's introduction surveys major ethical philosophers writing between approximately 1870 and 1960 such as Henry Sidgwick, G. E. Moore, and R. M. Hare to show what Miller calls a surprising episode in the reception of Aristotle's Ethics..."Thornton C.
