description: s/t: Or of matters concerning habituability Ken Telford's new work on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics provides us with a translation of the Greek, not merely from the point of view of a classicist or a linguist, but from that of a philosopher with an understanding of ancient Greek as a whole. While remaining faithful to Aristotle's words, this perspective has allowed Telford to correct many errors in previous translations and these corrections have in turn led to the development of several discoveries of tremendous significance in the understanding of Aristotle and his contributions in solving problems of our day. AUTHCOMMENT...the main task, of both our translation and commentary on his Nicomachean Ethics, is the stating and exposition of a manner of viewing life based on the freedom of all men, not on the ascendance of a few, either by right of substance, power, or knowledge, in a most complete and fulfilling way. For this is the virtue of Aristotle's view of 'completion' as it manifests itself in the sphere of the practical.
