Parece claro que la felicidad es el fin ultimo al que aspira la vida humana. Pero cual es la verdadera esencia de la felicidad? A esta espinosa cuestion se enfrenta Aristoteles (384-322 a. C.) en la Etica nicomaquea traducida y convenientemente anotada para la presente edicion por Julio Palli Bonet. Entre los muchos valores que es posible atribuir al filosofo de Estagira (Macedonia) se cuenta este texto perteneciente al ultimo periodo de su produccion y sin duda. el mas influyente y elaborado de sus escritos sobre Etica. Resultado de la seleccion realizada por su hijo Nicomaco de ahi el titulo con las notas que el propio autor utilizaba para sus lecciones en el Liceo la obra resume con total clarividencia las claves de la reflexion moral de su autor. Pero aun mas meritorio es el hecho de haber sido el quien por vez primera en la literatura universal aborda la disciplina como rama filosofica independiente. Para Aristoteles segun apunta Teresa Martinez Manzano en su introduccion la Etica ciencia de los habitos y el caracter no es un saber meramente teorico sino que despliega una dimension practica en la busqueda de la virtud el bien mas preciado por ser patrimonio del alma.

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" is considered to be one of the most important treatises on ethics ever written. In an incredibly detailed study of virtue and vice in man, Aristotle examines one of the most central themes to man, the nature of goodness itself. In Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," he asserts that virtue is essential to happiness and that man must live in accordance with the "doctrine of the mean" (the balance between excess and deficiency) to achieve such happiness.
