Aristotle's ethical works: approximations and distensions in relation to Ethica Nicomachea

Abstract

This article is intended to a brief analysis of closeness and relationship between Aristotelian works devoted to the subject of ethics. The working hypothesis is based on demonstrating the points that gave the work Ethica Nicomachea an apparent predilection estagirita in the study of ethics throughout the Western philosophical tradition. The review undertaken to expose this hypothesis is guided through the sieve of the proposition of the aspects that give theoretical prevalence, chronological and recognition of said work on the other outlets on screen. Thus, we aim to demonstrate the validity of this alleged predilection of Western philosophical tradition by Ethica Nicomachea in the study of the ethical thinking of Aristotle.
