This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Nicomachean Ethics, and discusses his treatment of boulesis - translated as "wish", "will", or "rational desire".
Wish or rational desire is one of the three main types of desire or affectivity (orexis) that Aristotle distinguishes (the other two being "appetite", epithumia, and "spirited desire" or "anger", thumos). Wish orients us affectively towards ends or desired goals.
Presumably wish is for the good - but is it for the genuine good or just what appears to be good to particular human beings? This is one of the several issues raised and discussed in this section.
This core concept video is designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
