This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and poet Lucretius' poem On The Nature of Things (De rerum natura), book 4, which presents an Epicurean viewpoint on a number of matters.

This episode focuses specifically on the discussion of what mind (animus) and spirit (anima) are composed of, according to Lucretius. This turns out to be four "elements", namely wind (aura, ventus), heat (vapor, color), air (aër), and a nameless fourth element responsible for sentience.

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 treatment of boulēsis - translated as "wish", "will", or "rational desire".

Wish or rational desire is one of the three main types of desire or affectivity (orexis) that Aristotle distinguishes (the other two being "appetite", epithumia, and "spirited desire" or "anger", thumos). Wish orients us affectively towards ends or desired goals.

Presumably wish is for the good - but is it for the genuine good or just what appears to be good to particular human beings? This is one of the several issues raised and discussed in this section.

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

Specifically it focuses focuses on his discussion in book 3 of a key ethical matter, moral or deliberative choice (prohairesis), discussed in book 3.

Choice is intimately connected with character, virtues and vices, and what kind of a person one turns out to be. For Aristotle, it also involves deliberation about means for ends, and provides an important junction connecting a person's affective or desirous side and a person's rational or intellectual side. Choice is also a sub-section of the category of the "voluntary" for Aristotle, so it bears important implications for the distinction between the voluntary and the involuntary.
