Behind the Scenes | Introduction to Aristotle's Ethics

In the ‘Nicomachean Ethics’—the first book written on the subject of how best to live—Aristotle argues that human happiness chiefly depends upon a person’s character, which is formed by making good choices. This course examines Aristotle’s teachings about human nature, the meaning of the good, and the virtues necessary for happiness. Students will not only learn what Aristotle says about the good life but will also explore ways to put this knowledge to work.

Looking forward to the courses and I'm really excited about it. At 53 years old who knows I might actually learn something that can make me a better person

Off Topic: Christ's Holy Wisdom is greater than that of Solomon's. Luke 11:31: "The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here."

_heidegger, the most important philosopher of the 20th century, says that no one can claim to REALLY understand Aristotle until he has read him for 40 years. Just sayin'! Such deep, wow. So Justice._

Remembering school and ethics being a tough class to get. Wondering now if it is taught and if so what it has morphed into in this age of lies.

For me this was an interesting study of body language. The content, verbally, was dross.
