The next non-fiction book I will be tackling and reviewing is an old one. I have never attempted to review a book of philosophy before, so this undertaking could be somewhat disastrous. Alternatively, I will use this as a launching point to encourage and influence my tens of readers to embrace ethical world conquest.

Publisher’s summary
Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, said to be dedicated to Aristotle’s son, Nicomachus, is widely regarded as one of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy. Addressing the question of how men should best live, Aristotle’s treatise is not a mere philosophical meditation on the subject, but a practical examination that aims to provide a guide for living out its recommendations. The result is a deep inquiry into the nature and means of attaining happiness, which Aristotle defines as consisting not merely of pleasure or an emotional state, but of a virtuous and morally led life. This edition is the translation by W. D. Ross.
