Topics: Michael of Ephesus’s commentary on book ten of Nicomachean Ethics and his interpretation of happiness; the causal power of the Prime Mover in producing a good cosmos; Plato’s mathematical intermediates and theory of Forms; Cicero’s Academic skepticism in relation to eudaimonism and his dedication to the pursuit of truth; Aristotle’s triadic account of motion and the teleological desire of matter for form in relation to Plato’s account of motion.
