"This collection of fresh contributions on the connections between the two main ethical works attributed to Aristotle is a most welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the EE and NE that has steadily grown in the last half-century." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"The volume’s careful treatments make important observations and raise interesting questions about the two treatises that deserve further scholarly attention. The volume, while contributing to the dominant developmentalist paradigm in understanding Aristotle’s ethical treatises, also shows how inquiry into the EE could be fruitful outside of it." - The Classical Review
