The Nicomachean Ethics
The Nicomachean Ethics
'Freedom is obedience to self-formulated rules.'― Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics. 'Aristotle numbers among the greatest philosophers of all time. Judged solely in terms of his philosophical influence, only Plato is his peer.' ― Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 'If Plato's prose was silver, Aristotle's was a flowing river of gold.' ― Cicero. Aristotle's The Nicomachean Ethics (sometimes known merely as Ethics) is one of the most influential works on ethics. It addresses the question of how to live well: It argues that the happy life, the flourishing life, is promoted by the pursuit of virtues. These he divides into virtues of the mind (including knowledge, wisdom and insight), which are learned, and virtues of the character (including courage, justice and generosity), which are gained by practice. He explains that practical reasoning and friendship are essential to a flourishing life and that the highest form of friendship is based on the admiration of the virtues of the other.

Rhetoric
Aristotle's Rhetoric is an ancient Greek treatise on the art of persuasion, dating from the 4th century BC. In Greek, it is titled ΤΕΧΝΗ ΡΗΤΟΡΙΚΗ, in Latin Ars Rhetorica. In English, its title varies: typically it is titled Rhetoric, the Art of Rhetoric, or a Treatise on Rhetoric. Aristotle is generally credited with developing the basics of the system of rhetoric that 'thereafter served as its touchstone', influencing the development of rhetorical theory from ancient through modern times. The Rhetoric is regarded by most rhetoricians as 'the most important single work on persuasion ever written.' Gross & Walzer concur, indicating that, just as Whitehead considered all Western philosophy a footnote to Plato, 'all subsequent rhetorical theory is but a series of responses to issues raised' by Aristotle's Rhetoric. This is largely a reflection of disciplinary divisions, dating back to Peter Ramus's attacks on Aristotlean rhetoric in the late 16th century and continuing to the present.(
