In this episode, we're covering Aristotle's view on the road to Eudaimonia in his Nicomachean Ethics.

Eudaimonia is often translated to happiness, but that’s not quite right. Really it means something like human flourishing.

For Aristotle, Eudaimonia is achieved through the pursuit of virtue over the course of an entire life.

We'll discuss: 

  • Aristotle's life
  • His function argument
  • The rationalist approach to ethics
  • The 'golden mean'
  • Cultivating virtue by habituation
  • Some common criticisms of Aristotle's virtue ethics
