Aristotle, The Politics book 1 - Is Unlimited Acquisition Of Wealth Good? - Sadler's Lecture

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Politics Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 1 about whether unlimited acquisition of wealth is something good and to be aimed at. His view is that such unlimited acquisition represents a mistaken way of understanding wealth and its purposes, and thereby a mistaken set of priorities.
