Nicomachean Ethics

Nicomachean Ethics, written by Aristotle, is a foundational text in virtue ethics that emphasizes the importance of character and virtue in achieving a good life, or eudaimonia, often translated as "flourishing." Aristotle argues that virtues are habits that enable individuals to act in accordance with reason and find balance in their actions, avoiding extremes. He suggests that living ethically involves cultivating moral virtues, like courage and temperance, through practice and reflection, leading to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Essentially, it’s about developing good character to navigate life's challenges wisely.
