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?
