Aristotle is the most prominent philosopher of ancient philosophy. It is accepted that only Plato could reach a similar level of philosophy in ancient times. Aristotle, who left his mark on ancient times, is considered by many to be one of the greatest philosophers of all ages. It is accepted by almost everyone that the number of people who can hope to compete with what he has achieved in science and philosophy can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Aristotle wrote works in many fields such as logic, natural sciences, metaphysics, psychology, ethics and political philosophy. The body of works, called "Aristotle's corpus", consisting of 1462 pages originally in Greek, consists of the notes of his lectures taken by himself or his students.

Nicomachean Ethics, written by Aristotle in dedication to one of his sons, Nicomachus, consists of 10 chapters. In this book, Aristotle talks about what is good and happiness, which is the purpose of the good, and the virtues of character and thought. He suggests that these are linked to our emotions and actions. Among the virtues, he especially emphasizes generosity and justice. Since approaching virtue also requires staying away from bad habits that will lead to lack of virtue, he suggests that these should also be examined. The book is completed by discussing friendship, which cannot be separated from virtue, and ultimately useful and useless pleasures.

Aristotle, who has a social understanding of ethics, sees ethics as a subfield of politics, which he considers as the "supreme science".
