Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.

Specifically it focuses on his discussions of three main types of friendship -- friendship in terms of good character or virtue, which is friendship in the fullest sense -- friendship based on pleasure -- and friendship based on usefulness. We explore the differences between these kinds of friendship, why friendships of pleasure or usefulness are less durable, and whether a bad person can be a friend or not.
