Written by Aristotle, 'The Nicomachean Ethics' is a foundational work in Western philosophy, specifically addressing the nature of moral life and human happiness. It explores virtues, the concept of the 'good life,' and practical wisdom, offering insights into character, friendship, and the role of external goods in achieving eudaimonia (flourishing). The book is praised for its realistic approach to ethics, emphasizing virtues as a mean between two vices and presenting a well-developed theory of friendship.
