This book offers an invitation to embark—alongside an experienced reader—on a journey that, while not without its challenges, allows you to familiarize yourself step-by-step with the philosopher’s distinctive terminology, ultimately equipping you to tackle his ethical works yourself with both pleasure and profit. For there is no shame in being a beginner in philosophy—quite the contrary: acknowledging this status is the first milestone toward moving beyond it, and the means to do so are found in this volume.
