"A sophisticated and illuminating study of central questions about Aristotle's views on practical reason and the ultimate good. Cooper's three chapters . . . examine familiar exegetical puzzles in a fresh and challenging way; but they also . . . raise new and fruitful questions about the philosophical merits and implications of Aristotle's theories. . . . He writes vigorously and lucidly, with both scholarly rigor and philosophical imagination." --T. H. Irwin in Archiv fur Geschichte der Philosophie

John Cooper is far recognized as one of the most important scholars in ancient philosophy. In Reason and Human Good, Cooper deals with the dificcult relation between particular actions and eudaimonia, the Human Good according to Aristotle. In demonstrating this general thesis, he is forced to explain another important themes in aristotelian pracical philosophy (means-end relationship, the role of Eudeimian Ethics, Intelectualism, deliberation, contemplation ans practical life, etc.) For this, it can be also seen as a excelent general introduction to Aristotle's Ethics.
