Aristotle's Ethics - Happiness, Pleasure, & Friendship (History of Philosophy)
Peter Adamson discusses Aristotle's ethics, focusing on the Nicomachean Ethics. Among other things, he discusses Aristotle's ideas about happiness, virtue, the function argument, weakness of will, as well as the role of pleasure and friendship in the good life.
This is from two episodes of Peter Adamson's podcast, the History of Philosophy without any Gaps, back in 2011. I thought it provided a good introduction to Aristotle's ethics. The podcast can be found here: historyofphilosophy.net

Thanks for this.
Thank you so much for this discussion on Aristotie's Ethics. I'm new to Philosophy, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your discussion, this is a talk I'll listen to more than once. Question: Do you have any recommendations for books on Philosophy for a layman and an 81-year-old artist who is disabled after a stork. Philosophy keeps my mind active. Again thank you for such a stimulating talk I'll be following your discussions.
I instantly fall in love of Aristotle ethics after hearing his thoughts on happiness... Thanks for this video...

Embrace yourself fully without being narcissist and egoist is remarkably crucial. Live moderately and to the fullest for each moment in order to achieve "eudaimonia". Respect the concept philosophical contemplation from Aristotle❤❤
Hi Peter Good afternoon from UK. You are critical of Aristotles and calling Aristotles as "selfish" being selfish by Principle is not a bad thing. You cannot see the needs of others more than your own needs all the time. Aristotles is right He has admirers from almost all walks of life

you forgot the Rhetoric - as important as EN. Alexander the Great did the opposite of what Aristotle taught: he was not brave but rash; he had no rational telos - he justed wanted to conquer.
Just as I wish Freud and Jung included instinct into their thinking, so I wish Aristotle could have. It would have helped.

Nietzsche’s whole frame was instinct.

Jordan Peterson points out that what we really want is to be making progress towards a valued goal. Brandon Sanderson embodies this in one of the ideals of the Knights Radian, “Journey before destination.”
