Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics With Essays, Notes, and Translation, Vol. 6 In spite of the manifest importance of the Sixth Book of the Nicomachean Ethics, there is probably no book among the whole ten which has received so little attention from Aristotelian students. No separate edition of it has ever been undertaken, and some half-dozen dissertations by German scholars, together with the miscellaneous notes supplied by editors of the Ethics as a whole, leave much room for further criticism and explanation. The present volume, which is a slightly altered and enlarged form of a dissertation submitted in 1906 to the electors to fellowships at King's College, Cambridge, is an attempt to supply this deficiency to some extent. It is introduced by an examination of the evidence for and against Aristotle's authorship of the Sixth Book, on the strength of which Aristotle is thereafter referred to as the author. This is followed by a full discussion of the doctrine of the Sixth Book, and its relation to the whole treatise. The Greek text is not identical with any already published, but is closer to Bywater's than to Susemihl's. It does not rest on any fresh examination of the manuscripts: and it contains only one reading (1139 b 28) that lacks the support of all modem editors of standing.
