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 3, and examines his assessment of human beings' responsibility for the development of their own moral character.

While acknowledging the importance of factors such as culture, family, upbringing, education, and habituation, Aristotle holds human beings largely responsible for the good or bad character - the virtuous or vicious dispositions - which they develop and display.
