New York: Peter Lang, 1989 xv, 270 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. Inscribed on the first free endpaper by the author to his mentor, a well-known philosopher. In his "Nicomachean Ethics," Aristotle says the "eudaimonia" (happiness) is the end of human nature. In the Greek thinker's moral theory and theory of human nature, that good has a definite content, and is a universal and even obligatory moral good--the "true good" of a person. The author of this book argues that the connection that Aristotle sees between human nature and "eudaimonia" illuminates both human nature and the supreme moral good. To the same extent, Aristotle is a perennial source for theorizing about human nature, human moral qualities and the best life for people. CONDITION: Light overall rubbing to covers, and very minor shelf bumps to corners of spine.. Inscribed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover.
