Aristotle asks how a person should live in order to reach happiness, which he sees as an activity rather than a state. Across ten books he examines virtue, which in his view comes from habit and not from knowledge alone, along with pleasure, justice and friendship.

Who it's for
For readers who want to meet one of the foundations of Western ethics first-hand, with some patience: it is not a polished book but notes from his teaching at the Lyceum, and Aristotle himself warns that ethics cannot have the precision of mathematics.
Why people still read it
It became a central text of medieval philosophy, the basis of Thomas Aquinas's synthesis with Christian theology, and remained the authority on ethics at many universities into the seventeenth century. The modern revival of virtue ethics, with writers such as Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha Nussbaum, has renewed interest in it.

Written with the help of AI from todostuslibros and Wikipedia, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
