The Benefits of Reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

Visit lp.hillsdale.edu/aristotle-en... to enroll today in Hillsdale’s free online course, “Introduction to Aristotle’s Ethics: How to Lead a Good Life.”
In the ‘Nicomachean Ethics’-the first book written on the subject of how best to live-Aristotle argues that human happiness chiefly depends upon a person’s character, which is formed by making good choices. This course examines Aristotle’s teachings about human nature, the meaning of the good, and the virtues necessary for happiness. Students will not only learn what Aristotle says about the good life but will also explore ways to put this knowledge to work.

    I read books 1-4 3 times, the 4th book for the 4rth time... I though i was a special case not able to grasp concepts. It is the greatest self-help book ever written. Its unfortunate not many people read it, as it would've been easier to grasp concepts through discussion... Word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph and book by book.

    1:19 “If you keep its arguments alive in your soul, and develop your knowledge of those arguments, there’s this tremendous reward that comes to you: you can understand, I argue, better, what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. The greatest self-help book ever written.”

    I was in Barnes and noble and I saw this book and thought “hm, this will be a good read for limited valuable time.” Now I’m hearing from you that I accidentally picked the best book of my life.

    Well, the closer I draw to 40, there more sense it makes to me, so Aristotle might have had a point after all.
