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 focused on the types of pleasures that arise from or through types of activities. We also discuss the deeper relation between pleasure and activity, particularly in terms of the faculties or capacities that allow that activity and corresponding pleasure - and Aristotle's view that pleasure "perfects" activities.
