こんにちは、Finnです。この本を理解するお手伝いをします。
10歳の子に説明するように言うと、こうなります：
Aristotle は一番単純で一番難しい問いを投げかけます、良い人生を生きるとはどういうことか。彼の答えは、幸福は感情でも賞でもなく、楽器が上達するように習慣から築くもので、勇気、正直さ、寛大さを、それが自分そのものになるまで実践することです。これは訓練としての哲学で、性格は技能だと考えた教師が書きました。
本の全文は英語で読みます。すべての章はこちらです：
Many more or less important alterations have been made in this translation, which was first published in 1881, as new editions have from time to time been called for. The present edition in particular has been revised throughout, and brought into accordance with Bywater’s text (Oxford, 1890),1 which is coming to be recognized, not in Oxford only, as the received text of the Nicomachean Ethics. I wish gratefully to acknowledge the debt which, in common with all lovers of Aristotle, I owe to Mr. Bywater, both for his edition and for his Contributions to the Textual Criticism of the Nicomachean Ethics (Oxford, 1892).
To Mr. Stewart also I wish to express my gratitude, not only for much assistance derived from his admirable Notes on the Nicomachean Ethics (Oxford, 1892), but also for much kindly and helpful criticism in that work and in a review of my first edition (Mind, July, 1881). My old friends Mr. A. C. Bradley and Mr. J. Cook Wilson (professors now at Glasgow and Oxford respectively) will allow me to repeat my thanks for the valuable help they gave me when the first edition was passing through the press. To Mr. F. H. Hall of Oriel, and Mr. L. A. Selby Bigge of my own College, I am indebted for some corrections in a subsequent edition. To other translators and commentators I am also under many obligations, which I can only acknowledge in general terms.
When I have inserted in the text explanatory words of my own, I have enclosed them in square brackets thus [ ].
F. H. Peters.
Oxford, May 1893.
