Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics Book 6 - The Natural Virtues - Sadler's Lectures

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 6, and examines his discussion in book 6 about the "natural virtues" and their relationship with the intellectual virtue of prudence (phronesis).

The natural virtues are dispositions or temperaments that a person has by virtue of their nature, i.e. without having had to acquire them through practice and habituation. They are not full moral virtues, however, but can make it easier for a person to acquire actual moral virtues.
