General works on Aristotle

General works on Aristotle include Sir David Rosss Aristotle, W. K. C. Guthries section on Aristotle in his A
History of Greek Philosophy (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). Works specifically on his ethics include
Nancy Shermans The Fabric of Character: Aristotles Theory of Virtue (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1989); John
Coopers Reason and Human Good in Aristotle (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1975); W. F. R.
Hardies Aristotles Ethical Theory (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1980); Richard Kraut's Aristotle on the Human
Good (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1989); Troels Engberg-Pedersens Aristotles Theory of Moral
Insight; Sarah Broadies Ethics with Aristotle (New York: Oxford University Press, 1991); and Julia Annas, The
Morality of Happiness (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993). Two excellent anthologies of articles on
Aristotles ethics are Amlie Rortys Essays on Aristotles Ethics (Berkeley: University of California Press,
1980) and Barnes, Schofield, and Sorabjis Articles on Aristotle: 2; Ethics and Politics (New York: St. Martins,
1977); the latter contains an excellent bibliography. One of the most fascinating treatments of Aristotles ethics
is to be found in Part Three of Martha Nussbaums The Fragility of Goodness: Luck and Ethics in Greek
Tragedy and Philosophy (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1986); also see her The Therapy of Desire:
Theory and Practice in Hellenistic Ethics (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1994). For a perceptive
discussion and evaluation of Aristotles ethics in light of current work in feminist ethics, see Marcia Homiak,
"Feminism and Aristotles Rational Ideal," in A Mind of Ones Own: Feminist Essays on Reason and Objectivity
(Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 1993), pp. 1-18.
