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 10, and examines his discussion about differences between various types of pleasures. In Aristotle's moral theory, pleasures vary in terms of the activities and capacities they involve, and this allows some pleasures to be distinguished as higher and lower, or more and less valuable. We can also make distinctions between the pleasures that derive from good and noble activities and pleasures deriving from bad or base activities.
