Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is the founding document of the study of ethics. Every student of philosophy should have at least some basic understanding and knowledge of the text. We study the most significant passages of this exemplary and foundational text together, so we can gain a profound understanding of its moral themes and also learn to relate its virtue ethics to our own lives.

with the Halkyon Guild, we will explore six platonic dialogues with a particular focus to contemplate upon the beautiful and virtue. The six dialogues we will read together are: Greater Hippias Symposium Phrades Meno Cratylus Parmenides. I have structured the course in such a manner so as we read these dialogues we will circumscribe the following considerations: We start with Greater Hippias with the typical elenchus method of knocking down the sophist Hippias’s particular examples of the Beautiful and Socrates’s hypothetical replies to what is the definition of the Beautiful. In fact, from the exchanges between Hippias and Socrates, the connection between predicates and their subjects begin to untether. From Symposium, we explore what love is as a predicate and how beauty interacts with love, in words spoken by Socrates, “to behold true realities which nourish true virtue.”
