Topic: Aristotle's ethics
Aristotle's ethical theory is of great philosophical interest, and has had immense influence over the history of moral philosophy. In this course we will focus on the most central text for understanding his theory, the Nicomachean Ethics. This work is concerned with the nature of human flourishing and with the sorts of actions that are conducive to that flourishing. We will think about these themes throughout the course as well as Aristotle's accounts of the nature of praiseworthy and blameworthy actions and character states, the nature of ethical habituation, motivational theory, the nature of choice and agency, friendship, and pleasure.
