The episode discusses Aristotle's views on ethics and virtue in relation to living a good life.

What does it mean to live a good life? Is an ethical life always a desirable life, and vice versa? And what exactly is a 'virtue', anyway? Aristotle, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, had important and interesting answers to these questions.
