This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 5, and examines the sort of justice which he picks out as "legal justice" or "law-abidingness".

new Core Concept video -- we've got a number of other ones from Nicomachean Ethics book 5 coming up after this one
Very informative. The Nicomachean Ethics covers so many concepts so it's great that you focus on one and take the time to explain it in depth. I was a bit unsure about how Aristotle felt about following laws that could themselves be unjust or excessive, but I see the point Aristotle was making is that laws should promote virtuous behavior and laws that don't go against his ethics. Hope I'm getting that right.
You might check out my discussion of some of these in my piece www.academia.edu/2061762/Aneu_Orexeos_Nous_Virtue_Affectivity_and_Aristotelian_Rule_of_Law
Hey, thanks for sharing! I'll certainly check it out.
Very interesting video, as usual. It's fascinating to see that Aristotle seems to have come very close to what today is regarded as the 'social contract' model of justice. Perhaps he did in fact invent the idea, unfortunately I'm not anywhere near as familiar with Aristotle as I'd like to be...
Well. . . not really. Social contract theory (which some people want to read in Plato's Crito, involves people in a pre-political state realizing that they'd do better to have some established structures, and then contracting with each other (not the state) to follow those norms. That's different from what Aristotle means by "legal" justice
Ah, OK, thanks for the clarification.
I found this very straightforward and helpful, thank you!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful for you
Is it possible to outline a singular (or several) philosophical discourse(s) that articulate the basic accepted principles that underlie modern political / legal thinking. You know, which would, for those less interested in ALL the history of thought, and individuals perspectives (not me), that HAVE BEEN accepted into general principles. If not, is that not the singular problem with society. Will we ever agree on principle lines. I'd say Human Rights, from Kant, Rawlsian veil of ignorance to defeat NIMBY concerns (yes we need it but, not in my back yard) etc etc
Yes, I think that would be possible.
That's not what I do in these Core Concept videos -- I explain in the intro to them what these videos are for and about
Yes I know, it was a tangential suggestion.
Great video for basic understanding of this book. I’m struggling to make sense of the book 5 chapter 4’s mathematic “the line AA BB CC being equal to one another, from AA let AE be subtracted and to CC, let CD be added, so that finally CCD exceeds BB by CD”. Can you help me understand this? Or is this irrelevant?
Make yourself a diagram
@@GregoryBSadler Thank you! I found the diagram in the footnote.
Necesito este audio en español, alguien de casualidad podria traducir todo lo que este vídeo expone?
Thank you for the video.
+Torry Chen You're very welcome!
it is easier to fool the people, then it is to convince the people that they've been fooled :/ but then again the one quote that definitely keeps me open hearted to change is "If they can convince you that you've done nothing, then nothing is what you can do. or the most common way that people lose their power is by thinking that they no longer have any they say education is the answer I say that's a complete fallacy what we need today is more philosophy 😆
it's like a wise man once said "I am always willing to learn, but I am not always willing to be taught" I believe our problem today depends upon how someone proability to learn & how they base it all in one sided terminology & without any rational level elementary even being taught to our new generation. If you look up the book the lies my teacher told me you'd be blown away this professor goes through 12 text books and points out all its biast misconception that should be & should've damn well been a midevil phenom by now but just like Saul and King David stories go it should say alot shit or even the so called mohamed that did what rome did like Greece they imitated them God bless my philosophic brothern one day maybe we can break this conformed instantly from which it came like Plato wanted lol I have a brilliant quote for you from one of the modern late 1800 greatest philosophers "Being anti social is a sign of having higher intelligence in a society being controlled & filled with complete conformity I sort of rephrased it but Nikola Tesla was thee great man who said something similar
with nothing but complete conformity I meant
