🏛️ "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
Aristotle's masterwork on ethics and the good life — 10 books, 9 hours, and the most systematic answer to human happiness ever written. This is the complete, human-read audiobook featuring on-screen captions for deep study and focus. Translated by F. H. Peters and narrated by Mark Cassidy, The Nicomachean Ethics moves through virtue, pleasure, moral weakness, friendship, and the contemplative life as the summit of human flourishing.
