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 Rhetoric, and examines his discussion in book 2 about one dynamic Aristotle points out, namely that people get angry not only at slighting they perceive as directed at them or those people they care about, but also things and even abstractions that they value. Even more interesting, they become angrier, according to Aristotle, when they feel insecure about those matters.
