In this lecture and discussion session from my Spring 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we look at Aristotle's discussions of the intellect and the intellectual virtues in Nicomachean Ethics book 6. We frame Aristotle's intellectual virtues -- wisdom, intuition, scientific knowledge, art or skill, and practical wisdom -- in terms of the various studies which students pursue in our educational institution, and the later practices they engage in. I leave off by challenging my students to determine for themselves what

I came across this lecture while I was trying to get some help on book 6; I have been stuck so badly on that part, I could not understand any of his reasoning at all! I think I have a bit better understanding of what he is trying to say thanks to your video. Hopefully this allows me to make a breakthrough. Thanks!

Dr. Sadler, you mentioned in this talk that Galileo proved Aristotle wrong in some area. Question: Can you direct me to a source that demonstrates how Aristotle was wrong and Galileo was right? After all, they both covered alot of ground. I presume you are talking about the field of Physics. If you can remember, are you saying that certain first principles laid out by Aristotle in Physics have been proven wrong by Galileo, or that particular arguments - i.e. arguments from the first principles of this science - have been proven wrong, or perhaps both? Anyway, you don't have to answer these latter questions of course. But if you could, can you answer my first questions? Thanks in advance.
