Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics Bk 10 - Ethics And Education - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 10, and examines his discussion of the connections between education (understood in a broad sense) and ethics. Among the issues he examines are whether simply studying ethics (e.g. reading textbooks on the matter, or receiving moral training) is sufficient for moral development. Aristotle's view is that it remains insufficient without habituation on the part of the student, weaning them away from vices and towards developing virtues.
