Koterski shows you how and why this work can help deepen and improve your own thinking on questions of morality and living a "good" life. The aim of this course is to provide you with a clear and thoughtful introduction to Aristotle as a moral philosopher, and to suggest ways in which this ancient thinker still speaks to the deepest concerns of our own era.
