Excerpt from Aristotle's Ethics Explained: By Question and Answer, Books I. IV., X., Ch. Vi. IX, With Short Essays and Examination QuestionsThe student 111 commencing this subject 18 in almost every case entirely ignorant, not only of the peculiar terminology and the particular object of the book, but also of all philosophic ideas.His first, and perhaps chief difficulty, is in discover ing what he has to learn a long time is spent in ac quiring vague and unsystematic knowledge, and it is fortunate if a clear idea is ever obtained of the method of the book, and of the questions to which it furnishes an answer.The questions and answers given here are chie¿y for the use of passmen, that is they only contain such matter as is to be found in the text.They may be useful to the reader who cares to be. Come acquainted with the subject without referring to the Greek, or to the candidate for honours who is willing in this way to become familiar with the matter, while seeking elsewhere for comment and criticism.Constant quotations from the Greek of the more striking sentences have been placed as headings partlybecause such sentences are frequently set in examina tion, but principally for the reason that the presence in almost every section of some words that serve the end naturally suggest this use.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
