Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
Join Titus, Aristocles, and I as we discuss some crucial aspects of Aristotle’s seminal work on the ethics of living well.
This week’s episode of KulturKampf discusses and introduces Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics with a brief mention of concepts introduced by Aristotle in his Prior and Posterior analytics. The question Aristotle seeks to answer here is one of what the Telos – or purpose – of human activity is? Can this question be answered by appealing to Platonic Forms? Or does the nature and essence of human action lie elsewhere?
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Books VI and V
We wind up our discussion of Aristotle with a look at Book VI and Book X of his Nicomachean Ethics which deal with the Intellectual virtues and Pleasure vs. Happiness.
We’ll touch on questions such as how the soul arrives at Truth and what happens to a State which fails to enforce laws which encourage moral virtue. Join us on this episode of KulturKampf as we close out Aristotle and the Greeks!
