For over two thousand years, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics has remained the starting point for all discussions of morality. In this reading group led by Landon Hobbs (Stanford), participants explored Aristotle's understanding of the fulfilled human life and its relation to virtue, friendship, pleasure, contemplation and more.
