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 Rhetoric, and examines his discussion in book 2 defining the emotion of calmness or mildness (praōtēs), which is a quieting or appeasing of anger, and can be understood by its opposition to anger.
