Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics has often been treated as an inferior, earlier version of the more famous Nicomachean Ethics. My dissertation reads the Eudemian Ethics as a systematic, self-contained, carefully constructed whole, with distinctive arguments that answer questions fundamental to ethics. I find, arguing on a case-by-case basis, that some of these answers are better than the ones found in the Nicomachean Ethics in important respects and provide new tools and arguments relevant to contemporary debates in ethics. I focus on the function argument, the aim of virtue, the attribution of partial credit, and the codifiability of ethics into a theory. The result is an Aristotelian ethical theory that is closer to certain contemporary indirect (or two-tier) teleological theories than to some commonly shared interpretations of the Nicomachean Ethics. Ethicists who are often dissatisfied with the dominant ethical theories, consequentialism and deontology, have sometimes looked to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics for some clues about how to do ethics outside of these paradigms. This has inspired traditions in contemporary ethics, most notably virtue ethics, that reject many assumptions that the dominant theories share. My dissertation argues that the Eudemian Ethics has more to tell us about problems that consequentialists and deontologists are interested in, than about how to blaze a path apart from theirs.
