This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Nicomachean Ethics, and discusses his treatment of a key ethical matter, moral or deliberative choice (prohairesis), discussed in book 3.

Choice is intimately connected with character, virtues and vices, and what kind of a person one turns out to be. For Aristotle, it also involves deliberation about means for ends, and provides an important junction connecting a person's affective or desirous side and a person's rational or intellectual side. Choice is also a sub-section of the category of the "voluntary" for Aristotle, so it bears important implications for the distinction between the voluntary and the involuntary.

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.
