Description
George Grote, the historian of Greece, left this great study of Aristotle, and its second edition came out in London in 1880. Alexander Bain and Croom Robertson, both professors of logic and mind, edited the work. Grote had died before his Aristotle was complete, and the editors filled the famous gaps from his papers. Two essays on the Ethics and the Politics, printed in 1876 among his fragments, join this edition.
The essay on the Ethics splits in two: happiness first, then virtue as its chief part. Grote turns Aristotle's view of happiness over on all sides, praising its merits and marking its defects with equal care. The book is heavy, close, and learned, the fruit of long study by a banker turned scholar. It still stands as a monument of Victorian classical learning.
