The Right Amount of Pleasure | Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics Book 3
In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle discusses temperance, one of the virtues of character. Temperance refers to moderation in the enjoyment of certain bodily pleasures. To exceed this moderation is to be intemperate and to over indulge in bodily pleasures. Aristotle notices the pain that an intemperate person goes through when they aren’t currently experiencing such pleasures and identifies intemperance as more blameworthy than cowardice, the vice associated with a deficiency of bravery. #aristotle #philosophy #nicomacheanethics

Great video! So glad I found this!
I love your vids, been on a bingeeee and to be honest I think the fewest amount of times I've used the word temperance is in this very comment! Guess aristotle was in me straight out the womb... that sounded wrong but on a real note that random comment at 3:59 caught me so off guard, your drawings and delivery of the content are so accurate but funny at the same time, there's no way you don't have a million subs yet
Your videos are really helpful and insightful. Keep it up
Good video - Subscribed!

One follow up question, you mention touch and taste. What about music (sound)? Does it fall into this discussion of temperance?

I'm not really sure, that may be more in the realm of psychology.

Very unfocused, very confused author. Sounds like notes to a teacher, which is fair since he mentioned that in the opening.
