Pilgrims's Process

The chapter I’m reading deals with a highly-nuanced view of akrasia in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics.

Reading and outlining it takes a lot of effort (and about 20-25 min per page), and I’m not fully following the argument yet.

However, it’s like riding a stationary bike – it doesn’t go anywhere, but I’m getting really good exercise.

You know a book is going to be “good” when its Amazon.com listing looks like this.

Well, back to the hamster wheel…

The first week has quite a bit of reading. I’m glad I decided to take only one class to ease into it.

• Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics Books I-V
• G. H. von Wright, “On So-Called Practical Inference “
• Robert Audi, Practical Reasoning and Ethical Decision Chapter 1
• A. J. Kenny , “Practical Inference”
• G. E. M. Anscombe “Practical Inference”
