Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics

Christopher Rowe’s 2023 Oxford Classical Texts edition presents Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics as a Greek critical text. It is not an English translation. The edition includes Books I–III and VII–VIII, treating the disputed common books without prejudging the long-running question of whether they belong originally to the Eudemian or Nicomachean Ethics.

Rowe freshly collated the principal Greek manuscripts, incorporated an additional witness and provides a substantially expanded critical apparatus as part of a renewed attempt to establish the text. Important editorial arguments are developed further in the separate companion volume Aristotelica. This is therefore a specialist philological edition for readers working directly with Aristotle’s Greek and with the textual history of the Ethics, rather than an introductory reading edition of Aristotle’s moral philosophy.
