Let's read a book a day of Nicomachean Ethics (15-25p per book).

We start with book 1 tomorrow. But feel free to start discussing the work in this thread today.

I feel like a weekly schedule might be easier for people to stick to. Down to do some reading though.

Different anon, but here's an interesting lecture on the Ethics with a pretty different approach.

I've only read some Plato, do I need anything else to start with this? I'm interested in keeping this group alive to be honest

No, his reasoning is quite straightforward. Just pay close attention, since a lot of what you'll be reading will probably be novel to you.

One book a week would be pretty doable for most people.

Maybe something a little less dry than Ethics.

Daily schedule is fine. We need to keep a thread active every day or any chance at it becoming a thing will die.
