    有幸在校图书馆看到Michael Pakaluk的新著‘亚里士多德的尼各马可伦理学：一个导论’。因为到了北京师范大学，所以学习亚里士多德哲学有些时间了(约2年左右)，我的兴趣虽难说在此，但毕竟对这块有了些感觉。这次有幸看到它，一下子就被吸引住了，除了文风外，作者(现在是美国克拉克大学的副教授)在前言的前几页所讲述的回忆最早研习亚里士多德伦理学的经历，一下子抓住了我的心。第一句是这样说的：

    我生动地记得在我首次遭遇亚里士多德《尼各马可伦理学》的那第一个本科学期。

This is an engaging and accessible introduction to the ‘Nicomachean Ethics’, Aristotle's great masterpiece of moral philosophy. Michael Pakaluk offers a thorough and lucid examination of the entire work, uncovering Aristotle's motivations and basic views while paying careful attention to his arguments.
