This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Nicomachean Ethics, and discusses his assessment of human beings' responsibility for the development of their own moral character in book 3.
While acknowledging the importance of factors such as culture, family, upbringing, education, and habituation, Aristotle holds human beings largely responsible for the good or bad character - the virtuous or vicious dispositions - which they develop and display.
This core concept video is designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

“All people seek what seems to them good but they are not responsible for it seeming good.
Each man’s conception of his end is determined by his character, whatever that may be.”
A great quote displaying the relativism of self-interest
Great video! These shorter ones are easier to watch during the day. A very relevant message for today when so many people seem to blame their problems on everyone but themselves :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! I read Nicomachean Ethics last year and this series has been a fantastic refresher! Your inclusion of the Greek really exhibits your devotion to understanding Aristotle and philosophy as whole. You inspire me :)
Glad to read it!
Your videos are always a pleasure. Thank you.
You're welcome
What determines character according to Aristotelian Ethical Perspective? Is it our choice of good actions only? Or is it our choice of good and evil? Please helpppppp
Both of course

" we are self-moved movers" yes. And to the degree that I move myself I am free. From the Phadrus
The soul (245c-249d)[edit]
He begins by briefly proving the immortality of the soul. A soul is always in motion and as a self-mover has no beginning. A self-mover is itself the source of everything else that moves. So, by the same token, it cannot be destroyed. Bodily objects moved from the outside have no soul, while those that move from within have a soul. Moving from within, all souls are self-movers, and hence their immortality is necessary.[Note 20]
I don't think Aristotle would ascribe to that, and puts the source of motion in the heavens as the unmoved mover.
If you act now, you can build a good base that will allow you to think and work for much longer. Health is a good in itself, and instrumentally good to thinking. It is an aspect of eudamonia (flourishing). But I have to say, I think you are a better scholar than I am. Perhaps I could be more attentive to my mortality, and the economics of old age. NO one forces you to drink.
I choose to try to be wise over and over again. Even when I make choices that contradict that end, I return to that end. I've given up on attention, praise or blame. Everyone is busy with their own lives. But I tend towards assent to that statement that virtue is happiness, and that wisdom is the highest good a human can attain. These are intrinsic goods, and more self-sufficient that any honour that could be given to me by others.
To produce these videos, you have to spend alot of time sitting. Philosophers don't usually lecture walking anymore. good lecture.
+Mark Trumble Aristotle considers human agents self-moved, at least in some respects. That's not incompatible with there being final causes as well, or even an unmoved mover.
and that is something I should look into with more detail. Thank you.
