The course is an introduction to Aristotle's Ethics. Close reading of selected passages of the Nicomachean Ethics will help us understand the main concepts of this line of ethical thinking. We will focus on the topics elaborated in books one (eudaimonia), two (ethical virtue), three (deliberated choice), six (rational virtues) and ten (pleasure and the highest good).
