Description

This list is intended to support slow readings of Aristotle's
ethical treatises -- the Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian
Ethics. For a brief discussion of what I mean by "slow reading,"
please see my essay at
http://freelance-academy.org/slowread.htm.

This is one of a group of lists hosted by The Free Lance Academy,
whose main purpose is to create opportunities for serious,
committed intellectual inquiry outside the university, primarily
by means of online media such as internet mailing lists. For the
names of other lists in this group, search on the relevant
keywords listed below.

In the belief that the most effective way to learn something is
to teach it, another of the principal aims of The Free Lance
Academy is to provide opportunities for teaching, especially for
people who might not otherwise have such an opportunity. If you
would like to become a discussion leader of this list or any
other list hosted by The Free Lance Academy, please contact Lance
Fletcher, the President of The Free Lance Academy, at:
lance.fletcher@freelance-academy.org.

Keywords: The Free Lance Academy, freelance, freelance-academy,
philosophy, slow reading, aristotle, ethics
