Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethic Bk 7 - Virtue & Vice, Brutality & Heroic Virtue, Akrasia & Self-Control

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

Specifically it focuses on passages early on in book 7, where he distinguishes and (at least for some of them) discusses six distinct moral states or conditions: superhuman virtue, virtue, self-control, lack of self-control, vice, and brutality.
