Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, said to be dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus, is widely regarded as one of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy. Addressing the question of how men should best live, Aristotle's treatise is not a mere philosophical meditation on the subject, but a practical examination that aims to provide a guide for living out its recommendations. The result is a deep inquiry into the nature and means of attaining happiness, which Aristotle defines as consisting not merely of pleasure or an emotional state, but of a virtuous and morally led life. This edition is the translation by W. D. Ross.

I don't need to praise the original. Whoever is considering reading this has heard Aristotle's genius praised enough.
So instead, I'll talk about the translation a little. There's a particular section in chapter 3, where Aristotle talks about choice. He describes how we can arrive at the point of choosing through deliberation. This word in particular is interesting.
Its root is liberty. Deliberation is the act for reducing our freedoms. We consider our possibilities, and try to figure out what doesn't get us where we want to go, and explore if our hands are forced in some manner, when we deliberate. Then we choose from what remains. I've never thought of this word like this before. Aristotle uses bouleuomai, which roots from "advice" instead of "liberty", so neither could he.
It's worth paying attention to how modern words influence the picture the author tries to paint - I think Ross did a magnificent job with how he uses them, his word choices are worthy of praise on their own!
Also great narration, just throwing it out there.
