"Eudaimonia" cannot be translated, rather only habituated - "Nicomachean Ethics" I.8-9

Update: 2021-01-12

Description

In this episode we focus on how eudaimonia is different from many of the assumptions we make about "happiness", for there is no proper way to translate the Greek word into English.

I addition, Ada and Adam debate whether habituation rather than nature or theoretical learning a la Socrates is the best source of virtue.
