Description
A lucid and useful translation of one of Aristotle's primary works
by a master teacher. Designed for courses in undergraduate philosophy,
as well as for the general reader interested in the major works of
western civilization.
Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are
non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary
intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the
concepts as they were understood by Aristotle’s immediate audience.
Market
Joe Sachs's translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is for
students studying philosophy at the college level, as well as for the
general reader interested in the major works of western civilization.
About the Author
Joe Sachs taught for thirty years at St. John's College in
Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated Aristotle's "Physics,"
"Metaphysics" and "On the Soul" and, for the Focus Philosophical
Library, Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" and "Poetics", and Plato's
"Theaetetus" and "Republic."
Reviews
Sachs’s translations of Aristotle are truly exemplary. They combine
a rare sensitivity to Aristotle’s use of the Greek language with an
English style that is straightforward and imaginative. But what makes
Sachs’s translations even more noteworthy is their attunement to the
thought that is indicated by Aristotle’s words, an attunement born of a
profound awareness of the untranslatability of this thought into modern
philosophical concepts. For anyone seriously interested in Aristotle’s
philosophy, Sachs’s translations are indispensable.
— Burt Hopkins, Seattle University
Sachs’s translations are unequaled in making accessible to
Greekless readers an Aristotle undistorted by the influence of Latin. In
addition, his helpful glossaries not only explain his own translational
choices, but also inform readers of common alternatives, thereby
enabling them to cope with the secondary literature. His are my
translations of choice, for both introductory and advanced courses.
