    Nicomachean Ethics is an ethical treatise by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. In contrast to Plato, who deduces his conclusions from concepts, Aristotle comes upon his beliefs through a ground-up approach, approaching the question of what is good by examining the choices that good people agree upon.

Aristotle believes in the "golden mean"--a lifestyle of balance, and the individual cultivation of virtue.
