Summary

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" stands as a foundational text in Western ethical philosophy, providing a systematic inquiry into the nature of the good life and moral virtue. Written in a clear, systematic style, Aristotle explores concepts such as happiness (eudaimonia), moral virtue, and the importance of friendship, weaving together empirical observations with profound philosophical reasoning. Set in the context of Ancient Greece, this work reflects the rich intellectual tradition of the time, engaging with Socratic ideas while proposing a unique virtue ethics framework, emphasizing the cultivation of character over mere adherence to rules. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, draws on his extensive empirical studies and philosophical debates, offering insights shaped by a lifetime of inquiry into human behavior and the natural world. His experiences within the Athenian philosophical community and his practical concerns about the nature of human happiness informed his exploration of ethics as a practical pursuit, one intimately connected to human flourishing. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of moral philosophy. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a cornerstone of ethical thought but also offers timeless wisdom applicable to contemporary life. It invites readers to reflect on their own values and the virtues necessary for a fulfilling existence.

    As tragedies in Oregon, Arkansas, and Colorado have shown, children as young as eight years old are capable of murder and violence. Experts ranging from law enforcement officials to guidance counselors are confused and conflicted about how to approach this tragic phenomenon. Best-selling novelist Jonathan Kellerman returns to his roots as a scientist and child psychologist to dissect a problem that is attacking our society: dangerous children who, in all likelihood, will grow up to be dangerous adults. Kellerman explores the "nature v. nurture" theory, discusses the legal and psychological ramifications of treating such children as adult criminals, and tackles the assertion that violence in the media is to blame. More than a crash course in understanding the "hows" and "whys" of this issue, Savage Spawn is an enlightening study that will engender much-needed discussion.
