In this lecture/discussion session from my Fall 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist, we discuss some of the main issues arising in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 10. In particular, we look at the nature of pleasure, whether it is the good, how it is related to activity, and how pleasures vary in goodness or badness from each other. Then we discuss lifestyle, asking what the distinctively human lifestyle is, and focusing on the life of virtuous activity and the life of contemplative activity

Aristotle at 25:25
The best way of life in Aristotle's view is the life of intellectual virtue, the life of contemplation. Second best is the life of moral virtue, lived out in action. Both of them also require sufficient means, and some people to share that life with. Generally, those terms "inclusivist" and "non-inclusivist" -- used in different ways by different authors -- have to do with the question of whether happiness should be understood as being mainly X, but also including (or extending to other things

Thanks!
your lectures are awesome and profound, it let me understand great things such short period of time. If you can give or have given lectures on michel de montaigne essays, seneca or plutarch, please upload them too. it will be too kind of you. thank you:)
I have watched I think 10 videos of yours today and they are extremely helpful to understanding Aristotle! Just reading his books was very hard to grasp concepts but you make it very easy and understandable thank you for that. Would I be correct in saying that the "best way of life" in accordance to Aristotle is the life that involves moral virtue, intellectual virtue or all the virtues? And I read something about inclusivist and non-inclusivist interpretations of aristotle. What are these? thnx
I can only give you my best regards for your kind venture. If you could also help us understand, why a great thinker like Karl Marx was against plutocracy , while a profound thinker like montaigne wrote in defense of plutarch. I have read them but not able to understand why marxist ideas were i think against capitalism. Is there any other free thinking writer who wrote in defense Thank you again sir.
