- In this video, Professor Thorsby discusses the first three books of Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics". Key ideas covered include his discussion of happiness, virtue, bravery, and temperance.
I started watching your videos out of self interest. Now, four years later, I’m watching them to help me with my first year studying Philosophy at uni. Your videos, and a few other professors, sparked my interest in something I didn’t even know existed five years ago. You have changed my life. Your impact is felt throughout my world. I cannot thank you enough.
Dear Professor Thorsby, thank you so much for putting this video lecture out there. As a self-learner, this is tremendously helpful. I had trouble understanding 2 different translations (J.A.K. Thomson and Sachs). And now I'm taking my time with each chapter. I'm grateful that you explain each chapter, because then I can pause the video and read the corresponding text.
P.S. love the long form. Most explanations on CZcams glosses over much details.
Excellent video! thank you!
This is was very helpful. Thank you! Will you be doing the rest of books? Also my condolences to you and everyone in your community.
Thanks for your kind words. And yes - I will be doing a video for each of the books.
Thank you ! Your video is very helpful :)
Terrific work!!!
I like the idea of speaking from a place of tragedy, Huston TX. It makes abstract topics like ethics more concrete and literally down to earth, and Arstitean (as opposed to being Platonic) inhering in objects.
Nice Mark this is pairing well with my History of Ancient Philosophy course
Hey Mark. Wonderful series! By any chance do you plan to do something similar for the Politics or the Metaphysics? Thanks
Mark, you are my hero.
Great video!
Thanks prof for the nice lecture
You are a great teacher thank you for you efforts
Well job mate at the “thick description” of this piece of work. Btw if one focused on your typos then this video isn’t for such a mind… lol Keep up the great work! Greatly appreciated!!
Can we have the powerpoint to please
Excellent video! Very helpful--who cares about the spelling anyways?
I appreciate you putting in the time and energy into making this video.

Excuse me sir, I didn't get the name of the author of the book on the loss of the honour culture in the modern world. Would you write it here for me? Thanks so much
Yes, the author is Kwame Apiah
Mark Thorsby forgive me but the bibliography of the professor is quite long. Is "the honour code" the book? Because at first glance it doesn't seem relevant 😅. Thank you so much!
Kwame Apiah
I would call the opposite of cowardliness would be recklessness
I do appreciate your manners but please do not apologise again for trivial errors in spelling. You've provided a fantastic and well presented video series!
What can you do with a philosophy degree?
Anyone else get a kick out of how his kids are slowly chipping away at his patience? haha
LOL
@@markthorsby2875 thanks for sacrificing your time to serve the higher goods of the contemplative life!
Thank you. You are quite welcome. Thanks for dedicating yourself to the same pursuit!
How to be happy in an uncertain world? Uncertainty-shit happens. Don't take it personally. It is how you respond to shit-uncertainty that counts.

Would it be virtuous to turn off your cell-iPhone? 🤔😏
Individual is subordinate to the collective. What is good for the hive is good for the bee.
Wisdom is the "highest" happiness, then wealth, then pleasure? Just as there are three degrees of friends,
Praise and honor are externals.
You can act courageously to acquire fame. Wrong. Not virtuous
If you loose your home.. that may not be everything. Its just material.
God bless you and your family and friends forever in Jesus name
Jesus Christ is the Lord 🙏
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
OR, May Allah bless you, your family and friends forever in the name of Muhammad The Final Prophet ! Hear O Israel Allah is your Lord and the only Lord!🤔😏😉🇮🇱
