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 7, and examines his discussion in book 7 about the practical syllogism - a topic that remains murky and rather underdeveloped in Aristotle's work as a whole (and an object of controversy within the secondary literature).
