Best Translation, essential read for all humans!
This is one of only two texts I'd consider absolutely essential for every person to read at least once in their lifetime. The other is Bhagavad Gita As It Is. I published a book which is a summary and renewal of this classic text by Aristotle, it's called; "Ethos: Complete Happiness and Excellence, by Way of Virtue and Reason" by Alexander Campanella Please check it out!

A classic philosophy book that everybody needs
Bought this for my college course, but I find myself going back to it all the time even after graduation. Aristotle is my favorite philosopher. Anybody who is interested in philosophy needs this one in their collection.

Aristotle is not for reading pleasure
Bought for school definite snooze fest. Bought book as used it was in good condition. Served its purpose for my school needs. Price was right.

Thoughs
Some people may argue Aristotle is circular in his definition of ethics what not, but I did not find this to be true. Instead, his writing is very clear and simple to read. It's just that, at times, it can be quite dense. Thankfully, Terence Irwin wrote lots of notes to help readers understand what Aristotle may have meant based on his (Irwin's) perspectives. Overall, this was a fantastic read.
