Ancient Greek & Roman Editorial Review
“How to Flourish: An Ancient Guide to Living Well” filters Aristotle's “Nicomachean Ethics” through a modern lens, making it accessible for today’s readers without compromising the essence of the original philosophical work. Dr. Susan Sauve Meyer’s abridged translation captures Aristotle’s insights on the nature of morality, emphasizing the importance of rational thought in human behavior. Critics have noted the complexity of earlier translations, often deeming them dense and inaccessible. Meyer addresses these issues by distilling the core concepts and eliminating unnecessary digressions, resulting in a text that is clearer and more engaging for readers who may not have a philosophical background. Readers have appreciated the approachability of this translation, finding it a breath of fresh air that enables them to engage with Aristotle’s thoughts directly. Those who had previously struggled with the dense Prose and complex arguments of Aristotle can now comprehend and enjoy his teachings on virtue and happiness. Meyer's background in philosophy ensures that the integrity of Aristotle’s ideas is maintained while still being presented in a manner that resonates with contemporary audiences. However, some users expressed disappointment that this version does not include some illustrations found in the print edition, suggesting that potential buyers should be aware of this omission. Despite this, the overall reception of the book indicates a strong appreciation for its readability and clarity, making it a valuable addition to the philosophical literature available to modern readers.
