Abstract

The article discusses the connection between the "Nicomachean Ethics" and "Eudemian Ethics," both written by Aristotle, to "Politics," a work of political philosophy also written by Aristotle. In doing so, the author briefly discusses the relationship of Aristotle's values and presuppositions in ethics and politics to those of his culture. He opines that to suggest that Aristotle is not a great moral and political philosopher simpliceter, but a great moral and political philosopher who lived in Greece in the fourth century B.C., is sometimes held to diminish him. Significant analyses relative to the matter are provided.
