Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is a timeless guide to human flourishing, but its length and style have often left readers struggling to engage with its insights. How to Flourish, a carefully abridged version of the original work in a lively and colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer, aims to make Aristotle's timeless wisdom about leading a good life more accessible and engaging than ever before.
Aristotle believed that flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice and cultivating a life of the mind. He paints vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers practical advice on various aspects of life, such as eating and drinking, managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom essential to flourishing and provides an unusual perspective on our place in the universe and our relationship with the divine.
In How to Flourish, Sauvé Meyer omits Aristotles digressions, repetitions, and overly technical passages, providing connecting commentary that allows readers to follow the continuous line of his thought. The original Greek text is presented on facing pages, making it an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.
By simplifying Aristotle's complex ideas and presenting them in a more accessible language, How to Flourish offers valuable guidance for individuals seeking to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply interested in improving your own well-being, this abridged edition is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the principles of human flourishing.
