01 Title Page 02 Chapter 1. All human activities aim at some good: some goods subordinate to others 03 Chapter 2. The science of the good for man is politics 04 Chapter 3. We must not expect more precision than the subject-matter admits. The student should have reached years of discretion 05 Chapter 4. The good is generally agreed to be happiness, but there are various views as to what happiness is. What is required at the start is an unreasoned conviction about the facts, such as is produced by a good upbringing 06 Chapter 5. Discussion of the popular views that the good is pleasure, honour, wealth; a fourth kind of life, that of contemplation, deferred for future discussion 07 Chapter 6. Discussion of the philosophical view that there is an Idea of good 08 Chapter 7. The good must be something final and self-sufficient. Definition of happiness reached by considering the characteristic function of man 09 Chapter 8. This definition is confirmed by current beliefs about happiness 10 Chapter 9. Is happiness acquired by learning or habituation, or sent by God or by chance?-- 11 Chapter 10. Should no man be called happy while he lives? 12 Chapter 11. Do the fortunes of the living affect the dead? 13 Chapter 12. Virtue is praiseworthy, but happiness is above praise 14 Chapter 13. Division of the faculties, and resultant division of virtue into intellectual and moral 15 Chapter 1. Moral virtue, like the arts, is acquired by repetition of the corresponding acts 16 Chapter 2. These acts cannot be prescribed exactly, but must avoid excess and defect 17 Chapter 3. Pleasure in doing virtuous acts is a sign that the virtuous disposition has been acquired: a variety of considerations show the essential connexion of moral virtue with pleasure and pain 18 Chapter 4. The actions that produce moral virtue are not good in the same sense as those that flow from it: the latter must fulfil certain conditions not necessary in the case of the arts 19 Chapter 5. Moral virtue's genus: it is a state of character, not a passion nor a faculty 20 Chapter 6. Its differentia: it is a disposition to choose the mean 21 Chapter 7. This proposition illustrated by reference to the particular virtues 22 Chapter 8. The extremes are opposed to each other and the mean 23 Chapter 9. The mean is hard to attain, and is grasped by perception, not by reasoning 24 Chapter 1. Praise and blame attach to voluntary actions, i.e. actions done (1) not under compulsion, and (2) with knowledge of the circumstances 25 Chapter 2. Moral virtue implies that the action is done (3) by choice; the object of choice is the result of previous deliberation
