Central to the text are ideas that have shaped centuries of ethical inquiry: that happiness ($eudaimonia$) is the ultimate end of all human endeavor, that moral virtue is forged strictly through action and habituation, and that right action requires the application of practical wisdom, or prudence. Medieval scholars revered its author simply as “the Philosopher,” establishing this treatise as a core pillar of classical thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eIn this acclaimed edition, Robert C.
