Presents an approach to a debate about Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: whether it coherently argues that the best life for humans is one devoted to a single activity, namely philosophical contemplation. This book argues that in Aristotle's view, we may act for the sake of an end not just by instrumentally bringing it but also by approximating it.
