Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is a classic work of philosophy, especially in virtue ethics. I hope this video can help guide you through the book and help you read it for yourself. Topics include Aristotle's influence, happiness, the virtues, friendship, and contemplation.

I wrote a series of articles over the summer on this book, and you can find them (for free) on my Substack: https://jaredhenderson.substack.com/t/nicomachean-ethics
