What is good? What is happiness? What is virtue? What is free will, and who is responsible for human destiny and well-being? The great philosopher Aristotle, a proponent of rational behavior and moderation in all things, ponders these questions. Three works on ethics have survived: the Eudemian Ethics, the Nicomachean Ethics, and the Great Ethics. Whether these works were written by Aristotle remains a matter of debate. The author of the Eudemian Ethics was most likely Eudemus of Rhodes, a student of Aristotle, who may have reworked his teacher's work. The Great Ethics, which is actually only a short treatise summarizing Aristotle's ethical views, was written by a Peripatetic—an unknown student of the philosopher. Only the Nicomachean Ethics can be confidently said to have been authored by the great thinker himself. The last two works are included in the proposed collection, with Nicomachean Ethics being published in E. Radlov’s translation, which was not published either in the USSR or in modern Russia.
