On the December 20, between 10:00-12:00, Hans Ruin will introduce book X of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and this semester’s last Aristotle session. As is well known, this book highlights an apparent tension in Aristotle’s ethics between thinking and acting, particularly concerning the nature of happiness and its relationship to virtue. Aristotle argues that true happiness is found in the contemplation of the highest truths, yet he also stresses that practical virtues, expressed through action, are essential for a well-lived life. Come and join us and help settle this question once and for all.
