Great lecture. I was a dual major in college--philosophy and religious studies (years ago)--and am now a pastor. I was thinking of using Aristotle's idea of liberality with the associated vices and your comments were extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Well, first I'd have to be on that side of the Atlantic! But I appreciate the sentiment. No end in sight for production of new videos -- in fact, the trick is to find all the time to shoot and edit them

How does Generosity act as a virtue if "Good" is defined as the satisfaction of a need? What need does Liberality satisfy?

There's your problem, right. Making sweeping assumptions about how you can define "good"

Gregory B. Sadler Well I mean doesn't Aristotle define good as something that any line of inquiry, art, etc is aimed at? So implicitly, it has to be the fulfillment of a need, with what he calls "The Highest Good" as something that all things aim at in the same sense. I do apologize if my logic is wrong or if I have a poor understanding of the Nicomachean Ethics but I am more than willing to learn from you. Your lectures help me a lot and I'm thankful for them, it's just this one question that keeps running around in my head that I couldn't help but ask.

Theo Suguitan You'll want to read the text. '"good" is spoken of in many senses'. Right there in the text. And, being the "end" is definitely not something you can reduce to the "satisfaction of a need"
