The reviewer highlights Nicomachean Ethics as Aristotle's masterpiece of moral philosophy and notes Aristotle's wide influence (Metaphysics, Logic, Physics, Biology, Politics). The review reproduces a historical link: Saint Thomas Aquinas called Aristotle 'the Philosopher' and heavily engaged with his works.

The single review praises Aristotle as a towering thinker and presents Nicomachean Ethics as a practical, life-changing manual of virtue. It emphasizes virtue as the prerequisite for wisdom and situates Aristotle among foundational authors in many fields. The reviewer recommends obtaining and practising the text.
