This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.

Specifically it focuses on Aristotle's Rhetoric, and examines his discussion in book 2 about what kinds of people other people tend to exhibit calmness or mildness (the opposite of anger) towards and why they feel that towards them.
