Seminar XI

Seminar XI, based on Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," explores the nature of virtue and moral character. It discusses how good habits and intentional actions shape a person's moral excellence, leading to a fulfilling life. Aristotle emphasizes that virtues are a balance between excess and deficiency, and that practicing virtues develops one's character over time. The seminar highlights the importance of practical wisdom—knowing how to act rightly in various situations—and underscores that achieving happiness depends on living a morally virtuous life. Overall, it focuses on how personal choices and habits cultivate a well-rounded, virtuous individual.
