Over two thousand years ago Aristotle's investigation into these fields established unique standards of philosophic inquiry, observation, judgment. This book offers a new selection in a new translation, along with a contemporary reevaluation of the philosphy of the master of Western thought, and shows his vital, continuing influence in our modern world.

Exploring the interplay between moral judgment and personal values, this work argues that acknowledging rationality in ethics enhances, rather than undermines, our respect for concepts like liberty, authenticity, sincerity, and integrity. Originally published in 1979, it challenges the notion that moral reasoning detracts from individual freedoms and emphasizes the importance of rational thought in ethical decision-making.
