Given the enduring importance of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics , it is remarkable to find that there is no extensive surviving commentary on this text from the period between the second century and the twelfth century. This volume is focused on the first of the medieval commentaries, that produced in the early twelfth century by Eustratios of Nicaea, Michael of Ephesus, and an anonymous author in Constantinople. This endeavor was to have a significant impact on the reception of the Nicomachean Ethics in Latin and Catholic Europe. For, in the mid-thirteenth century, Robert Grosseteste translated into Latin a manuscript that contained these Byzantine commentators. Both Albertus Magnus and Bonaventure then used this translation as a basis for their discussions of Aristotle's book. Contributors are George Arabatzis, Charles Barber, Linos Benakis, Elizabeth Fisher, Peter Frankopan, Katerina Ierodiakonou, David Jenkins, Anthony Kaldellis and Michele Trizio.

Since its publication in 1677, Spinoza's Ethics has fascinated philosophers, novelists, and scientists alike. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and contested works of Western philosophy. Written in an austere, geometrical fashion, the work teaches us how we should live, ending with an ethics in which the only thing good in itself is understanding. Spinoza argues that only that which hinders us from understanding is bad and shows that those endowed with a human mind should devote themselves, as much as they can, to a contemplative life. This Companion volume provides a detailed, accessible exposition of the Ethics. Written by an internationally known team of scholars, it is the first anthology to treat the whole of the Ethics and is written in an accessible style.

En revenant aux sources étymologiques du mot éthique, le philosophe propose sous la forme d'un dialogue un cheminement diachronique et synchronique autour de cette notion et évoque les différentes écoles de pensée qui s'en réclament, à travers des exemples concrets, touchant notamment à la bioéthique.

Das "System der Sittlichkeit" (1802/03) stellt die erste Vorform von Hegels Philosophie des Geistes dar. In seinem Versuch einer philosophischen Rekonstruktion der Sittlichkeit fragt Hegel, wie sich das moderne Subjekt in die verschiedenen Sphären des gesellschaftlichen und politischen Lebens integriert. Er sucht nach den Bindungskräften, die das in seiner Persönlichkeit dem Anspruch nach unverletzliche Individuum vor Isolierung und Entfremdung bewahren und ein erfülltes Zusammenleben sowie die Verwirklichung von Freiheit sichern sollen. Hegels Manuskript, das nach heutigem Sprachgebrauch die früheste systematische Gestalt seiner praktischen Philosophie enthält, gilt als einer der schwierigsten Texte der Philosophiegeschichte. Nun liegt erstmals ein durchgehender Kommentar dieses zentralen Werks vor. Das Buch gewährt umfassenden Einblick in Entstehungsbedingungen und Rezeptionsgeschichte sowie Aufbau und Argumentationsgang des Textes und analysiert dessen Bestreben, Philosophie mit Gesellschafts- und Sozialtheorie zu verbinden. Zahlreiche Einsichten, die im "System der Sittlichkeit" erstmals formuliert und hier rekonstruiert werden, gehören heute wie selbstverständlich zum anerkannten Wissensstand. In gewisser Hinsicht nimmt diese frühe Gestalt der Hegelschen Philosophie sogar nachhegelsches Philosophieren vorweg.
