This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics Specifically it focuses on book 5 of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (and there is a parallel discussion in book 1 of the Rhetoric), where Aristotle distinguishes degrees of responsibility for bad or harmful actions (between mischances, errors, and actually unjust acts) and discusses the difference between engaging in an unjust action and being unjust, i.e. having the vice of injustice.
