Ethics touches upon more than the morals of a person. Along with how someone should execute their morals as well as a deeper look into why interpretations change such morals. This book has changed my opinion of my own ethics/morals, causing me to reevaluate what I see as a tangible end result and if that , by means of my own approval, is in fact an appropriate end goal. Aristotle spoke of how all things are done for what we today might call the greater good, but as he refers to it as the Cheif good. I began wondering if in fact I do all things for that greater good bringing me to a more central question, what exactly are my morals? This is a book of philosophy and has made me want to look more into Greek philosophy in particular. Aristotle stood as a man in an old age where he was today's modern or aggressive progressive of his time, he wasn't aggressive. He doesn't just give his own opinions though he also dives into the opinion of others divulging into a multitude of differing opinions from his own however his own makes the most sense, in my own opinion. The way , one could say, he debunks theory of other of his time without both disregarding the ideas themself is amazing. The book is one of the best work by a philosopher I have read, not that I have read many. I am truly enjoying it.
