In this episode of the Bradley Lecture Series, AEI’s Dr. Leon Kass explores fundamental questions.  What is human happiness, and how is it attained? What is the connection between human excellence and human flourishing?

The deepest, wisest, and (arguably) most relevant exploration of human flourishing and its connection with human excellence may be found in Aristotle’s “Nicomachean Ethics,” the truth(s) of which are set forth here. Special attention is also paid to Aristotle’s great-souled man and the enduring relevance, even in modern democratic times, of this peak of moral nobility.

This lecture was originally given on January 22, 2015.  Full details can be found on the original event page here.
