Sup /greek/ What do you guys think of Nicomachean Ethics? Just picked up a copy and am about to start working through it. I'm not too familiar with philosophy, though. Read a couple Platonic dialogues, but that's it.

Michael Davis' The Soul of the Greeks has a great essay on it. The Soul ans Self and Self-Aware.

Aristotle is tough. There is a reason why Nietzsche called him the greatest philosopher. In addition to my suggestion, don't feel badly about seeking out guidance whenever anything doesn;t make sense.
