Summary "Ηθικά Νικομάχεια, Τόμος Δεύτερος" by Aristotle is a philosophical treatise written in the 4th century BC. This work delves deeply into ethics, examining the concepts of virtue, self-control, and moral responsibility. It is a cornerstone of Western moral philosophy, guiding readers to contemplate what constitutes a good life and the nature of moral character. The opening of this volume introduces key themes surrounding moderation and excess, particularly through the lens of "incontinence" (akrasia) as opposed to self-control (enkrateia). Aristotle begins by categorizing various moral states and their implications, asserting that individuals exhibit different levels of awareness and control over their desires. He sets the stage for an exploration of the complexities of human behavior, specifically how people can act against their better judgment and the philosophical ramifications of such actions. The dialogue established in this early portion is foundational for understanding the moral inquiries that will follow throughout the treatise. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
