Editorial Reviews

"David Reeve’s translation of Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics is certain to become an indispensable tool for anyone who is interested in studying this great text, that paired with the Nicomachean Ethics, exposes Aristotle's ethical theory. The translation is not only faithful to the Greek text but it also reproduces masterfully the rhythm of Aristotle’s prose. Together with its thoughtful iIntroduction, copious notes, and temperance when coping with textual problems, Reeve's edition is a remarkable contribution to Aristotelian studies."
—Pavlos Kontos, University of Patras, Greece
