About
In the Nichomachean Ethics— so called after their first editor, Aristotle's son Nicomachus—Aristotle sets out to discover the good life for man, the life of happiness. He discourses on happiness, including the supreme happiness, possible only for a few, and a secondary kind of happiness, available in a virtuous life of political activity and public munificence.
