This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on his discussion at the end of the work that sets out how the rational part of the soul ought to use the emotions from the irrational part of the soul, rather than simply suppress or eliminate them. Plutarch names a number of specific emotions that can serve various virtues. What the reasonable part should do is to introduce order and proportion to the emotions, and that is what properly established laws have the potential to do as well.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on his discussion near the end of the work of how the rational and irrational parts of the soul ought to be ordered and related to each other. Plutarch thinks the rational (and divine) part ought to be determining matters overall, and that the irrational (and bodily-affected) part ought to listen to and obey the rational part. This condition takes place through habituation, tending to (therapeia), and education of the irrational part by the rational part.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on how conflicts can arise within the intellectual or reasoning part of the human soul, between different lines of reasoning (logoi) arriving at different judgements about the matters in question. At times, one line of reasoning can be given additional force because of the emotions in the irrational part of the soul.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

(eupatheiai), which are rational desire (boulēsis), caution (eulabeia), and joy (kharis). Some of the points Plutarch makes seem a bit off-target in this section, as far as the Stoic doctrine goes, but we do learn something about Plutarch's own views on the matter. He also provides us with some interesting information about Chyrsippus' views on two of the virtues Stoics consider subordinate, namely endurance (karteria) and self-control (enkrateia).

of the human soul. As opposed to a Platonist or Aristotelean moral psychology, in which there is a higher rational part of the human soul, and a lower irrational part of the soul, the Stoics claim that reasoning, impulses, and emotions all take place in the same part of the soul. Plutarch provides several arguments for why that doctrine involves significant problems.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on the distinction he draws between the vice of intemperance (akolasia) and the other bad, but not vicious moral state of lack of self-control (akrasia). Similarly to his treatment of the virtue of temperance and the state of self control, he notes that the two main parts of the human soul involved are disposed differently. In both states, the lower, irrational part of the soul is in bad shape, but in lack of self-control, the higher, rational part is still functioning properly, simply overwhelmed by the passions or desires. In the vice of intemperance, the rational part itself has become corrupted, and not only agrees with the passion, but encourages it.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on the distinction he draws between temperance (sophrosunē), which is a virtue, and self-control (enkrateia), which is not a virtue but is a good state. Both of them involve two parts of the human soul, the rational and irrational part. In both of them, the rational part is in good condition and functioning well, but they differ in how the irrational, emotional, desirous part happens to be. In temperance, the irrational part obeys reason because it is in good condition, while in self-control, the irrational part has to be compelled to obey reason because it is not in good condition yet.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on his discussion of two distinct uses of the faculty of reason human beings have. One use focuses on things that are by necessity and remain the same, that exist absolutely, and this is scientific or theoretical reason. The other use focuses on things that are relative to us, which include moral qualities such as the good and the bad, the choiceworthy and the worthy of avoidance, or the pleasant and the painful, and this is practical and deliberative reason.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on the section where Plutarch discusses what he takes moral or ethical virtue to actually be. He frames it in terms of a quality of the irrational part of the soul that has been established within it as a habit formed or shaped by the rational part of the soul. For Plutarch, the goal is not to eliminate emotion entirely but to impose right order and measure upon it.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - https://amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on how what he calls the irrational part of the soul (which encompasses the spirited part and the appetitive part, and is the part that feels or has passions) ought to be subjected to and persuaded by the rational part of the human soul. When this is the case, then the person has or at least is on the way to moral virtue. There is a puzzle or problem as to how something that is irrational can obey or listen to something that is rational.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on his discussion, early on in the work, of the composite nature of the human soul, which includes a rational part and an irrational part, the latter of which is further divided into a spirited (thumoeides) part and an appetitive part (epithumia). This will be relatively familiar to many as the Platonic tripartite conception of the soul, found in Plato's Republic.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral VirtueThis episode focuses specifically on his discussion of what he takes to be mistaken conceptions of the virtues found in the works of the philosophers Menedemus, Ariston, Zeno, and Chysippus, so that he can contrast his own middle-Platonist perspective against them. There are two main ways he thinks they get matters wrong. The first has to do with the unity and the multiplicity of the virtues. The second has to do with their moral psychology, assuming that there is one ruling part of the soul in which rationality and emotion are both to be found.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Moral Virtue here - https://amzn.to/3gpyrS3To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher Peter Singer's book, The Life You Can Save, chapter 1.Specifically it examines his argument for why each of us who are not in extreme poverty ought to devote a portion of our resources in order to prevent the death of at least one child living in extreme poverty. It looks at how he constructs the argument, beginning with a hypothetical case of a drowning child, which practically everyone would say they would save, a real child in China who was left to die by passerbys, and then the plight of children dying of preventable causes in extreme poverty To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Peter Singer, The Life You Can Save - https://amzn.to/4a4L11E

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human NatureSpecifically it examines what our conception of identity is for various objects over time, which Hume thinks is actually a fiction created by our own mind out of our perceptions, associating them in relation to each other in terms of resemblance, contiguity, and causation. With various objects we may focus on the proportion of changing parts to a whole, the reference of those parts to some common end or purpose, or on the sympathy of parts in mutual cause and effect.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 4500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature - amzn.to/2V0QWxC

, and focuses upon Nagel's analysis of one way that a person who acknowledges that we cannot imagine or conceptualize the subjective experience of a bat might try to get around that, by appealing to more objective concepts and facts about the organs, body, and brain of the bat. He notes that this doesn't yield us the subjective experience and we are not even sure how to correlate the subjective and objective characters of matters like this, including how the human mind is supposed to be connected with or reducible to the human brain.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler or Buy Me A Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/a4quydwomIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 4,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerGet Nagel's What Is It Like to Be a Bat? - https://amzn.to/3P8ihhk

, part 7In this section, Hobbes explores questions and problems of what makes a thing remain the same thing throughout its changes over time or in composition. He considers several different philosophical approaches to the issue, one which focuses on the matter, another which focuses on the form, and a third which focuses on the accidents of the presumed substance in question.

It focuses on the two cases that Clifford's essay uses to illustrate the ethical duty he argues that we have not to believe anything without having gathered and weighed evidence for or against the belief. One example has to do with a ship owner who takes on passengers for a voyage without knowing whether or not the ship is actually seaworthy. The other example has to do with a group of people who persecute another group for engaging in practices they consider harmful without actually finding out whether they are in fact engaged in such practices. Clifford argues that even if it turns out to be as one believes, and that the actions produce good consequences, the person who believes upon insufficient evidence does wrong thereby.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 4,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerGet Clifford's The Ethics of Belief - https://amzn.to/41WkkYA
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 90It focuses specifically on Seneca's engagement with another earlier Stoic philosopher, Posidonius, who developed theories about the development of human disciplines and technology (artes), having to do with wisdom and philosophy. Posidonius postulates a golden age in which human beings lived in accordance with nature and were ruled over by the wise, and then a degeneration through greed, self-indulgence, and other vices into a lesser state in which they needed more and more technologies. Seneca argues that these were developed using human reason, but not right reason, from ingenuity rather than wisdom, and that while philosophers might have developed some of them, they did not do so as philosophers. In this letter, Seneca also outlines what the matters that wisdom and philosophy deal with are.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Seneca's Letters - amzn.to/2Myx6os

. With clear cases, like that of the obliging stranger, their rightness or wrongness, goodness or badness should be clear to anyone looking at them, and we don't need moral theories in order to make those judgements. With unclear cases, we have differing ways to try to make them more clear, but surprisingly, according to Gass, moral theories turn out not to be helpful in the ways that we expect them to in those cases either.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion near the end of the work bearing on what the contraries of affirmative, generally universal, proposition, actually are, since this is an issue that people often get confused over.

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of different ways in which something can be potential (dunamis) or possible (dunaton), terms that have multiple senses and are thus ambiguous. He distinguishes between rational and irrational possibilities, a difference which gets used by many later authors. He clarifies ways that potentiality or possibilities can be related to the actual or things in activity, and to what is necessary as well.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 4,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's On Interpretation - amzn.to/3nS55ud

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion bearing on whether and when it is possible to combine multiple predicates into one predicate for a given subject in propositions.

such as necessity, contingency, possibility, and impossibility, with the truth values of future seemingly contingent propositions in mind, for example that a sea-battle will or will not take place tomorrow. One possible approach is to say that since propositions must be either true or false, future propositions already are true or false of necessity and that we simply don't know their truth or falsity. Another is to say that it is necessary for them to be either true or false, but that neither of these truth values are necessary to contingent propositions referring to future events that have not yet happened.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 4,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's On Interpretation - amzn.to/3nS55ud

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of contrary and contradictory propositions, both of which are ways in which propositions are opposed to each other, with contradictories being more opposed to each other than contraries.

.An important difference between the Platonist tradition and the Aristotelian is the status accorded to thumos in their respective moral psychologies. In very broad strokes, the Platonic tradition consistently follows and reinterprets Plato’s tripartite conception of the soul, maintaining thumos one of three main parts of the soul, distinct from, in between, and interacting a rational part and the appetites. Thumos has a clear scope and proper function in Plato’s texts and those of later Platonists. In Aristotle’s moral psychology, thumos has a more restricted status, for the most part reinterpreted as one main mode of desire or affectivity (orexis). By contrast to other moral psychologies, e.g. that of the Stoics who treat thumos as just one emotion or passion among others, thumos in Aristotle and the Aristotelian tradition retains a distinctiveness from other, lower forms of affectivity, evidenced by discussions like that of akrasia due to thumos in N.E. 7 or that of thumos as one of the main causes for human actions in Rhet. 1. The status, function, and proper education of thumos remained a matter of contention and reinterpretation through antiquity, evidenced by discussions bearing upon thumos, for example in Plutarch, Galen, Philo, among others.My paper first outlines Plato’s treatment of thumos, drawing primarily upon Republic and Timaeus. It then sets out an Aristotelian account of thumos reinterpreted as a main mode of orexis, central to anger (orge), friendship, and other affective states, drawing mainly upon the two Ethics, the Politics, and the Rhetoric. Similarities and continuities between Plato’s and Aristotle’s positions are stressed, particularly the need to understand, orient, and educate thumos. Both positions are briefly contrasted against other interpretations which do not accord thumos a distinctive status, including Stoic thought. The paper also briefly discusses selected later reinterpretations of and controversies about thumos in the ongoing Platonic and Aristotelian traditions.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler

The full recording includes my lecture, Thomas Aquinas, Multiple Thomisms, and Christian Philosophy, a response by associate dean and professor Justin Shaun Coyle, and my answers to his and others' questions.Thomas Aquinas' works, thought, and approach have been viewed at times as an exemplar for Christian philosophy by many. His influence in Catholic circles in some times was massive and practically unavoidable, while in others Thomism was marginalized. In this talk, I focus on one period in which attentive engagement with Thomas Aquinas' thought, taking form as various and often rival Thomisms, was at a peak, an era centered by the 1930s Christian philosophy debates. I outline a narrative that starts with the Thomist revival in the late 19th century, discusses some key positions staked out during the modernist crisis and the 1930s debates, and takes us up to our own times. I bring the lecture to a close by providing a few suggestions for productively engaging, interpreting, and incorporating the insights and spirit of Saint Thomas.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ

, i.e. legislation and enforcement.. One of these, which Bentham thinks is a rather weak argument, is that this tends to make more people aware of the perceived offense and give them the idea that it must be pleasurable, since it is being punished. He also raises the likelihood of false or malicious prosecutions, which require only that someone make claims to have seen two men together, and views this as a significant problem. A third problem is that this also makes men liable to extortion or blackmail.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 1500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Bentham's Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation -amzn.to/2Z470Bq

In this invited lecture at Marist College, hosted by the Catholic Studies Program as part of their Marcelin Lecture Series, I narrate some of the key points and developments in the story of how we ended up with the current list of the Seven Deadly Sins, which are: Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Originally, these start out as the Eight Capital Vices, a list which includes sadness, acedia, and vainglory, and which does not include envy. So, how did we end up with the list we know today? The story involves Christian monks in the Egyptian desert, Benedictine monks, a reluctant pope, poets, scholastic professors, confessors, and mystics, and ranges over a millennium of thinkers and texts. In the process, I discuss some of the key players: Evagrius Ponticus, John Cassian, Gregory I, Alcuin, Peter Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante AlighieriThis portion of the talk discusses the treatments of the seven deadly sins by poets ranging from Prudentius to Chaucer and Dante, and by mystics like St. John of the Cross. We also conclude by examining a few additional topics raised by questions from the audience.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler

, and examines his discussions in article 3, which centers on whether or not ecstasy is something that love produces as an effect. For Thomas as it turns out, it all depends on how we understand that term. If we have in mind an affective state that in some way sets them outside their normal rational faculties, then this does occur in some cases. But if we mean something more literal, being placed outside ourselves in some way, ecstasy is indeed an effect of love, in particular the love of friendshipTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ

American Culture Association 2011 conference, applying Aristotelian moral theory to reading George R.R. Martin's series Song of Ice and Fire. In it, I argue that Martin articulates a essentially neo-Aristotelian view of human nature, characters, development, ethos and moral qualities, referencing selected events, characters, dialogues, monologues, and decisions from the narrative,I focus upon four aspects of a neo-Aristotelian view of moral life, character, and discourse, namely:community as sharing (koinonia) but also locus of conflict over moral qualities and judgmentsmotivational interplays between interests, desires, loyalties, and common goodsethos reflected in both individual characters and housescharacters’ choice and development as matters of better or worse practical reasoning towards and about the variety of human goods.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get Martin's 5 volumes of the Song of Ice and Fire here - https://amzn.to/4sNAaRC

This is part 3 of the the recording of my invited Saint Anselm Lecture, given in 2008 at Saint Anselm College. Here is the abstract of the paper:One important divine attribute Saint Anselm examines and treats is that of simplicity. His treatment brings out some surprising features of simplicity itself which escape the frameworks of the logic of created being, providing us a fuller, albeit still very partial, understanding of the true nature of that attribute. A deep problem can then arise for the created human being in the course of such speculations and investigations: How can a complex, complicated, composite created being more closely approach a perfectly simple divine being? In both our thought and in our practice, it seems that our attempts to approach God simply introduce even more complexity into things. My paper addresses that problem. The first section of the paper presents five short Anselmian lessons about the divine attribute of simplicity. The second section then frames and explores the problem. The third and final section provides an Anselmian resolution to the problem.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get Anselm's Complete Treatises: with Selected Letters and Prayers here - https://amzn.to/3YqF74L

This is the recording from my invited talk on philosophical resources for understanding and managing anger, which was part of my alma mater Lakeland University's Thinkhaus talk series, given up at the Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, WI. The original recording from 2017 was made by a local high school AV club, which unfortunately didn't do a great job with sound, lighting, video, or editing, so I didn't release it at the time, but I've subsequently remastered it to improve all of those.In the talk, I discuss how ideas drawn from Plato, Aristotle, and Epictetus can help us to deal productively with the anger that we inevitably encounter or experience. Specifically, from Plato we learn how to identify the sorts of conflicts that are likely to lead to anger, from Aristotle how to assess our own anger responses, and from Epictetus how to shift our feeling of anger into a different feeling by reminding ourselves of why people do things that we take as wrong or offensive.
This is my relatively short talk given during the 2025 Plato's Academy multidisciplinary conference: The Philosophy of Love And Relationships. I was invited to approach the topic of the difficulties involved in the highest, fullest, and most paradigmatic form of friendship that Aristotle In the course of my presentation, I discuss the importance and influence of the distinction between three different kinds of friendship based on utility, pleasure, and the good or noble. I note that this distinction does not capture every sort of relationship or friendship Aristotle discusses. Then we briefly look at each of these three sorts of friendship, and discuss some of the difficulties involved in developing and sustaining the highest form of friendship.We then discuss the question of how virtuous Aristotle would require us to be in order to be a partner in the highest type of friendship, the answer to which is that we don't need to have all of the virtues, and we could be on our way to developing them. After that, we turn briefly to three later thinkers who engage with Aristotle's ideas and take them a bit further on the matter of friendship, looking for useful resources for understanding how we can best approach this matter of a true or genuine friendshipThe thinkers and works I reference and discuss in this presentation include:Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian EthicsCicero, On FriendshipSeneca, Letters 3, 9, 109Plutarch, On Having Many Friends, How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend
of prohairesis, which ties it explicitly to deliberation about means towards ends -- an interpretation stemming from focusing on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 3 discussion of prohairesis. I then discuss a number of passages from across Aristotle's body of work which provide a broader context for understanding what prohairesis could be. I conclude by arguing that the Standard Interpretation, while correct in what it asserts, is far too restrictive to account for these other passages, so that prohairesis must be understood as a complex and more fundamental concept in Aristotelian moral theory.

delivered at the 2014 American Catholic Philosophical Association, hosted by the Institute for Saint Anselm StudiesCan God be entirely and supremely just and also entirely merciful, without these twocharacteristics ending up in contradiction with each other? Anselm of Canterbury considers this question in several places in his works and provides rational resolutions demonstrating the compatibility of divine justice and mercy. This paper considers Anselm's treatment of the problem in the Cur Deus Homo, noting distinctive features of his account, highlighting the seeming incompatibilities between mercy and justice, and setting out his resolution of the problem.Get Anselm's Works - https://amzn.to/2ZnZRcu
This lecture is a talk given at the 5th Saint Anselm conference, sponsored by the Institute for Saint Anselm Studies at Saint Anselm College in April 2014.I discuss Anselm's views on marriage, conjugal love, sexual desire, activity, and pleasure. Anselm lives and writes just before a flowering of monastic writing upon marriage and conjugal love, and has only fragmentary discussions of these topics, but his broader moral theory -- as we can find it not only in his treatises, but also in his Letters, Prayers, the De Similitudinibus, and the Dicta Anselmi -- actually has much to tell us about these subjectsGet Anselm's Works - https://amzn.to/2ZnZRcu
. In typical Anselmian manner, I say, Yes and No, and go on to discuss how Anselm would envision the possibility of a purely secular de-Christianized morality on the basis of his moral theory, and explain reasons why for Anselm any adequate moral theory and practice would preclude such an approach. I focus on God as the ontological ground of value, contributions Christian revelation and reflection make to moral theory, and what ongoing practical engagement with God and the Christian community provides to moral practice.Get Anselm's Works - https://amzn.to/2ZnZRcu

, which means that they have some positive or negative value, but not the sort of that makes us virtuous or vicious, happy or miserable.The Stoics teach that we should not be entirely indifferent to the indifferents, for several important reasons. The use (khresis or usus) of indifferents is not something indifferent, and as Epictetus tells us, is something we ought to be careful about. The virtues, as Seneca and Cicero clarify, bear upon indifferents.Texts mentioned in this talk:Marcus Aurelius' Meditations - https://amzn.to/3osPFNFEpictetus' Discourses and Enchiridion - https://amzn.to/37G6bE0Seneca's Letters - https://amzn.to/3dZQrNkCicero's On The Ends - https://amzn.to/3mmgJMB
many of us reference in our work and study.What we can say about these early Christian thinkers is that many had a philosophical education, had opportunities to engage with pagan philosophical schools, some of which had pretty strong religious stances, with precursor and contemporary Jewish thought, and with a variety of other disciplines like rhetoric, medicine, literature, political theory, law, history, music, etc. There was already a strong interest in issues about anger already raised and debated in ancient philosophy including: vicious anger, can anger have useful role, dangers of indulging or excusing anger, anger and courage or justice, types or levels of anger, divine anger. Early Christian thinkers rely upon or incorporating broadly Platonic psychology, and ethical conceptions drawn from Platonist, Stoic, and Aristotelian schools, but within a framework Christianity provides.The thinkers I reference and discuss in this presentation include:2nd-4th Century CE: Clement of Alexandria 150 – c. 215 AD, Tertullian 155 – c. 220, Origen 185 – c. 253, Lactantius 250 – c. 3254th 5th century CE: Basil of Caesarea 330 – 379, Gregory of Nyssa 335, Evagrius Ponticus 345–399 AD, John Chrysostom 347-407, Ambrose 339-397, Jerome 342–347-420, Prudentius 348-413?, John Cassian 360 – 435, Augustine of Hippo 354-430Some of the key scriptural passages they tend to engage most heavily with include:A number of discussions of anger in Pre-Christian Jewish scriptures, particularly in the Psalms, Proverbs, and SirachThe Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Paul’s Letter To Ephesians, and the Letter of James There is a stress on identifying and dealing with vices that involve anger, but also on developing virtues of Patience, Humility, Mercy, and Forgiveness. They also adopt, develop, and discuss a number of useful practices for lessening, understanding, or dealing with anger.
This is a talk I was invited to provide to the inaugural 2021 Stoicon-X Military conference, held online. I chose as my topic the scope of genuine courage, a topic of considerable importance but also frequent misunderstandings within professions like that of the military. In this talk I discuss what courage is and what it is for, the scope of courage, including its constituent virtues, and finally the relationship between courage and the other virtues.
. There are indeed some passages from Stoic authors that one can take out of context to justify such a stance. But when Stoicism is rightly understood, and when we look at other, equally authoritative passages, we see that the authentic Stoic position is to be compassionate and concerned with others.

, and examines his discussions in articles 1 and 4, which center on the issues whether goodness in some sense is a cause of love and whether any other passion is the case of love. Aquinas' answers are that in every case, some good is the cause of love, even seemingly in the case of hatred, which presumes love as well. He also clarifies that love is at the root of all the other passions, although is specific cases, love can be also caused by a specific passion.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ

, and examines his discussions in articles 1-2, which center on determining where love is within the things and specifically within human being.

, and examines his discussions in articles 3-4, which center on the issues of whether God loves some things more than others or not, and whether God loves better things more than others. For Thomas, this centers upon a distinction about ways in which one can love more or less. One way has to do with the act of will itself, i.e. willing good to another. The other has to do with the good that is willed to the other. God can and does will more or better goods for certain things than others, so God can love some things more than others in that respect.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ
, and examines his discussion in article 2, which examines the question whether God loves things other than God. Thomas considers four main lines of reasoning that would say that God either doesn't love other things or only loves some other things but not others. He then clarifies that God wills good to all things that exist, giving them the very being and goodness that they possess, so God loves all things insofar as they are. This doesn't mean that he loves all things to the same extent or in the same ways.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ
, and examines on his discussion in article 1, which addresses the issue whether love is in God. Aquinas considers several arguments against love being in God and addresses each of them.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century American science fiction and fantasy author Poul Anderson's essay "Of Thud And Blunder", which begins by parodying a passage of swords and sorcery fantasy. While making exceptions for L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, and J.R.R. Tolkein, Anderson criticizes many of the heroic, historical, or swords & sorcery fantasy fiction for engaging in bad storytelling. He charges them with oversimplifying, not engaging in needed research, and not devoting thought or common sense to their story writing. He discusses a number of different matters that a fantasy author should attend to, including: social classes and the lives of producers, the nature of pre-modern cities, diseases and sanitation, politics and religion, travel by land and water, and arms, armor, combat, and poisons.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerRead Of Thud And Blunder - https://www.sfwa.org/2005/01/04/on-thud-and-blunder/

These features are used by Balbus to argue for the existence of some intelligent, providentially ordering divine being. He also discusses a controversial Stoic doctrine, that of the universal conflagration, in which the matter of the world is gradually converted into aether or fire, and then the world is recreated by the divine being.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Cicero's On The Nature Of Gods - amzn.to/3JITSZc

This type of argument doesn't fit neatly into the modern conventional classification of ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments for the existence of the divine. It works by noting that there are different degrees (gradus) of being, going from bare being through plants, animals, humans, and other higher rational beings (gods), arguing that the top grade of being cannot be empty or non-existent.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Cicero's On The Nature Of Gods - amzn.to/3JITSZc

It might be viewed as a variant on a cosmological argument, working from an effect to the necessary existence of a cause.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 11 focused on what time is, where he examines our usual way of understanding it in terms of past, present, and future. This raises some issues, given that the present only exists at and for a moment, the past no longer is, and the future is not yet.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Augustine's Confessions - amzn.to/3NQ7diK
This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 11 bearing upon how we can measure time.It seems a bit paradoxical when we examine it, since past and present don't really exist as the present does, and the present is just a moment. Augustine's solution is to say that we measure lengths of time against each other and that we use the capacity for memory in doing so.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 11 of how God and time are related to each other, starting from questions raised by considering creation out of nothing and what God was doing or thinking before that creation. As it turns out, there is no time before creation, since time as we know it involves change of things.

The Nazis view Europe as something to possess and dominate, a system of resources to exploit. Camus advocates viewing Europe much as he views France, as something valuable, to which one can belong, and which has to be held to standards of justice and truth.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays - https://amzn.to/415sfTf

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher and essayist David Hume's essay "The Skeptic", found in his Essays Moral, Political, and Literary, the first of his four essays that bear names of members of philosophical schools, about which he tells us: "The intention . . . is not so much to explain accurately the sentiments of the ancient sects of philosophy, as to deliver the sentiments of sects, that naturally form themselves in the world, and entertain different ideas of human life and of happiness. I have given each of them the name of the philosophical sect, to which it bears the greatest affinity."The Skeptic is the longest of the four essays, and can be taken as a short presentation of Hume's own ideas about philosophy and life. The perspective of this fourth essay calls into question the perspectives of the three previous essays, and focuses not only on the difference in viewpoints on important matters between human beings, but also on why this is the case. It turns out the ascriptions of values such as beautiful or ugly, worthy or contemptible are additions to judgements about the truth or falsity of matters, and these value-ascriptions derive from a number of particular circumstances.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get Hume's Essays Moral, Political, and Literary here - https://amzn.to/45AmQqs

This lecture discusses Plato's work, The Euthyphro. In that work, Socrates is headed to the court, facing trial on charges of impiety and corrupting the youth. He gets into a discussion with Euthyphro about the nature of piety and related matters. Here, we look at some of the features of the dramatic situation setting up the dialogue outside of the law court, where Socrates is about to defend himself against charges that include impiety, and Euthyphro is about to prosecute his own father for murder. Given that people are accusing Euthyphro himself of impiety for this action, he makes several arguments to support the claim that he himself is being pious in carrying out the prosecution To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerThe lecture was originally recorded as this video - https://youtu.be/04pit5Bu4bU - I have improved the sound quality as much as feasible.If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase The Last Days of Socrates (including the Euthyphro) - amzn.to/2Limh8b

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early modern philosopher Francis Bacon's work Novum Organum, specifically the section in book 1 covering the "four idols of the human mind"This episode focuses specifically on his description of the fourth type of idol, those of the theater, which derive from either entire philosophical systems, which Bacon likens to fictions and plays, or from perverted rules of demonstration, or from too exclusive of a focus on one aspect or element of a science.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Being A BusybodyThis episode focuses specifically on one of the general practices he suggests to wean oneself away from this vice, namely deliberately redirecting one's attention from the usual objects of morbid curiosity towards better, or at least less bad objects. A person ought to focus on their own problems and troubles, not those of others, but they can also focus on the secrets of the natural world. If that's not interesting enough, and one needs something bad to stimulate, one can read those in histories or tragedies, rather than prying into the secrets of one's neighbors and contemporaries.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's On Being A Busybody here - https://amzn.to/3IcyoX5To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's short address "Designing Our Descendants: Seven Traits for the Future", a presentation to the 1978 general meeting at the Hastings Center.MacIntyre first discusses how intentionally designing descendants is a matter that has political dimensions, then sets out seven key traits that he thinks are most needed, and concludes with projections of what the lives of people in a society where these traits are widespread would look like.The seven traits in a "new table of virtues" MacIntyre identifies and discusses are:Ability to live with uncertainty (and an unpredictable environment)Roots in particularity (a capacity for finding a particular and local way of being a home in the world)A commitment to non-manipulative modes of relationship with people and natureFinding a vocation in one's work (an ability to find a work that is peculiarly our own to do in the world)Accepting one's death (recognition that there will come a time when one's life is complete)Hope (a spirit of hope for which there cannot be adequate empirical grounds)Willingness to take up arms (to go to war and to acquire the skill necessary to win a war)To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get MacIntyre's After Virtue here - amzn.to/2RiplGT

At first, they think that it is being caused by Pat Conley, who even thinks that to be the case herself, but it is actually the effect of Jory, a young man in half life, who is "eating" the other half-lifers.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel UbikIt focuses specifically on one main theme of the novel, which is the characters noticing a pattern of objects at first being spoiled or worn out, then reverting to earlier obsolete forms, eventually affecting not just individual objects or even rooms but entire settings in which they find themselves. The examples focused upon include cigarettes, coffee and cream, coins and bills, a tape-recorder, appliances, an elevator, vehicles, and even Ubik itself.

Dick's novel UbikIt focuses specifically on one of the central themes involved in the plot and worldbuilding of the story, namely the existence of psionic talents such as telepathy and precognition, and the existence of anti-psionic talents (called inertials) that nullify those psionic talents.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel UbikIt focuses specifically on one of the key features of the narrative world Dick develops in the story, namely the technology of Cold-Pac, which allows people who have experienced bodily death to be kept at cold temperatures and have their brains and thereby consciousnesses maintained, extending them for a while into "half-life". They do eventually run down and die after their energies are exhausted, and perhaps are reincarnated or have their consciousness simply drift off into space. Within half-life, there are some predatorial people who consume the lives of other people in order to extend their own half-lives.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get a copy of Ubik here - https://amzn.to/4k8i348

It focuses on his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of the differing possible motivations for engaging in ascetic actions and judgements, which range from dynamics of ressentiment rightly identified as such by Nietzsche, to educating members of a society for activities like war, to an overflow and abundance of life, to love of one's spiritual self and the desire to perfect and hallow it.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Max Scheler's Ressentiment - amzn.to/4f3mv18

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "Plain Persons and Moral Theory"It focuses upon the extent to which what MacIntyre calls "plain persons" need to be or become moral philosophers. He writes:"We can now say something more not only about how much of a moralphilosopher the plain person has to be, but also about what kind of amoral philosopher the plain person has to be and how this may differfrom situation to situation. The plain person needs as much of a theoryas will enable her or him to identify what the significant alternativesare which now confront her or him, and to understand why and how itwas in the past that she or he did or did not make mistakes in acting inone way rather than another. That need may not be met, not only if theplain person is insufficiently a theorist, but also if the theory which ismade available to her or him, even if true and adequate qua theory, isstated in too much abstraction from the specificities and particularitiesof her or his historical and autobiographical situation."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can find MacIntyre's essay "Plain Persons and Moral Theory" here - https://amzn.to/3KUbXVf

Juliana is able to determine that Hawthorne Abendsen used the Oracle to write his alternate history novel The Grasshopper Lies Heavy.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "Plain Persons and Moral Theory"It focuses upon his contention that plain persons are often what he calls "proto-Aristotelians" in their broad commitments embodying moral theory, rather than simply neutral blank slates. MacIntyre writes:"[T]he plain person is fundamentally a proto-Aristotelian. What is the force of 'fundamentally 'here? What it conveys can be expressed in three claims, first that every human being either lives out her or his life in a narrative form which is structured in terms of a telos, of virtues and of rules in an Aristotelian mode or has disrupted that narrative by committing her or himself to some other way of life, which is best understood as an alternative designed to avoid or escape from an Aristotelian mode of life, so that the lives of those who understand themselves, explicitly or much more probably implicitly, in terms set by Kant or Reid or Sidgwick or Sartre, are still informed by this rejected alternative. Secondly, I have told the story of the decline and fall of the plain person as the narrative of a single life. But the story could have been told, and I have told it elsewhere (in After Virtue), as a claim about the narrative history of a set of successive periods in West.em culture from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. This partial mirroring of the fate of individuals in the history of the larger social order and of the fate of that larger order in the narratives of individual lives testifies to the inseparability of the two stories. Thirdly, as these first two claims imply, I am also committed to holding that every human being is potentially a fully-fledged and not merely a proto-Aristotelian and that the frustration of that potentiality is among his or her morally important characteristics. We should therefore expect to find, within those who have not been allowed to develop, or have not themselves allowed their lives to develop, an Aristotelian form, a crucial and ineliminable tension between that in them which is and that which is not, Aristotelian. The standard modem anti-Aristotelian self will be a particular kind of divided self, exhibiting that complexity so characteristic of and so prized by modernity."

Dick's novel The Man In The High CastleIt focuses specifically on he new and original American jewelry produced by the Edfrank Custom Jewelry company and placed on consignment with Robert Childan's American Artistic Handcrafts, Inc. store.Childan gives Paul Kasoura one of the pieces, and there is a very interesting exchange between the two of them.

Paul then proposes to Robert that the pieces can be used to mass-produce a line of copies for poor people in South America, which places Robert in a crisis that demands a decision be made.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get a copy of Man In The High Castle here - https://amzn.to/45yJ2ie

This takes place while Wegner is meeting with General Tedeki and Nobusuke Tagomi to reveal Operation Dandelion. Tagomi kills the two SD agents who manage to reach their room, and then later confronts the Reichscounsul Reiss over the attack.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get a copy of Man In The High Castle here - https://amzn.to/45yJ2ie
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High CastleIt focuses specifically on a plot-point only revealed in the last third of the book, but which has been set up as Tagomi organizes a meeting between the Swedish Baynes (actually the Abwehr agent Wegner) and retired Japanese general Tedeki). Baynes/Wegner reveals the existence and readiness of a Nazi plot for attaining world domination, Operation Dandelion, which involves a massive nuclear attack on Japan.This poses a dilemma, since Goebels, who is in process of consolidating his power, is in favor of Operation Dandelion, but Heydrich and the SD/SS are against the operation. Wegner suggests that the Japanese government should support the "most malignant part of German society", Heydrich and the police. This means collaborating with evil in order to prevent evil of a different sort and on a greater scale.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get a copy of Man In The High Castle here - https://amzn.to/45yJ2ie

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher and historian of ideas, Pierre Hadot, and focuses on chapter 11 of his book, Philosophy As a Way of Life. He discusses the short history Hadot provides us with, in which ancient philosophy was oriented around what he calls "philosophy as a way of life", including Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. Christian philosophy develops in west in two directions, that of the Church Fathers and monastic authors, where it remains philosophy as a way of life, and philosophy understood more and more as theory or as an instrument for theology, found in the Universities and taking the shape of Scholasticism. In the modern period, while there are still some philosophers and movements who go past that model of philosophy, the majority of it remains within that perspective.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Pierre Hadot's Philosophy as a Way of Life - amzn.to/39kPA8Y

He discusses the distinction he draws between discourse about philosophy and philosophy itself.

Instead, what sustains it is a critical tradition that involves discussion about whether accounts are accurate, coherent, and defensible, along with revision of accounts in light of that discussion To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Popper's Conjectures and Refutations - https://amzn.to/4dFvJjA

Leguin, "About Anger, found in her book No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters.It discusses Leguin's reflections on the conditions in which anger can be a useful emotion in public, political, and private life, and on the dangers of treating anger uncritically as if it is always something good for dealing with injustice, abuse, exploitation, and threats.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century analytic philosopher John Wisdom's essay in the philosophy of religion, "Gods", found in his collection "Philosophy and Psychoanalysis".It focuses specifically on his discussion of what he calls the "logic(s)" of disputes about the existence or nature of gods.

Lovecraft continues:"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerRead The Call of Cthulhu - https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy LifeIt focuses specifically on the mistaken views the many or the crowd have about the nature of human happiness. Seneca notes that when they make and reproduce mistakes, they don't simply affect themselves negatively, but also other people who end up falling into error. He also notes that many elites, particularly those who are superior to other people in terms of wealth, power, or status, are just as prone to these mistaken views on the happy life, and should also be regarded as part of the crowdTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Seneca's On The Happy Life - https://amzn.to/3BrQD7T
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy LifeIt focuses specifically on he Stoic definitions of the greatest goods that he provides early on in the work. Seneca writes;"Happy, therefore, is the life in agreement with its own nature. And there is no other way for this to come about than if the intellect is, first, healthy and in unending possession of its own health; next, strong and energetic; then, enduring most nobly, fitted to the times, caring for its body, and for the things that pertain to the body, without anxiety; then, attentive to the other things that equip life, without admiring any of them, and ready to use the gifts of fortune and not be their slave . . . Our good can also be defined in a different way—that is, the same proposition can be grasped with different words. Just as one and the same army is spread out more widely one moment and compacted more tightly the next, and it either arcs with the middle part curving out into wings or is arranged in a straight front, but no matter how it has been ordered it has the same strength and the same will to stand up for the same cause—so the definition of the highest good can sometimes be spread out and extended, and at other times be compressed and collected into itself. It will be the same thing, then, if I say, “The highest good is the mind looking down on the things of fortune, joyous in virtue,” or, “the mind’s undefeated strength, well versed in the ways of the world, calm in action, with much humanity and concern for those with whom it has contact.” One may also define it in such a way as to say that that human being is happy to whom nothing is good or bad except a good or bad mind; who is a cultivator of the morally good,” content with virtue; who is neither buoyed up nor broken by changes in fortune; who knows that there is no greater good than that which he can give to himself; to whom true pleasure will be scorning pleasures. One may, if you wish to range further, translate it into one and another form, without endangering or damaging its power. After all, what prevents us from saying that the happy life is a free, upright, fearless, and stable mind, placed beyond fear and beyond desire, to whom the only good is what is morally good, the only bad thing, disgrace, and the rest are a worthless swarm of things that neither subtract anything from the happy life nor add anything to it, coming and going without any increase or diminution of the highest good?"To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Seneca's On The Happy Life - https://amzn.to/3BrQD7T

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmologySpecifically it examines the very first parts of the work in book 1, where Cicero discusses his own motivations for writing this work, and the larger project he has in mind with his philosophical works more generally. Being sidelined in the new post-Republic political regime, and dealing with grief over the death of his daughter Tullia leads him to take on a significant project of writing about Greek philosophy in Latin, and using a dialogue form which is well-suited to presenting and criticizing positions in all sorts of areas of philosophy.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Cicero's On The Nature Of Gods - https://amzn.to/3JITSZc

In chapter 3, Anselm further argues that God cannot be thought not to exist, which then raises a question about how the Biblical Fool is able to say in his heart that there is no God.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, novelist, and essayist Albert Camus' work The Myth of SisyphusSpecifically it examines one of the sketches or examples that he provides in the second part of his work, illustrating one particular "ethics of quantity" that remains consistently engaged with the absurd. This one centers around the fictional figure of Don Juan, reinterpreted by Camus.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay How To Tell A Flatterer From A FriendThis episode focuses specifically on the importance of moderating, or placing some limits on frankness of speech (in ancient Greek, parrhesia) within the scope of genuine friendship. These include advice to avoid approaches that are likely to be insulting to the person being criticized, since frankness has room for graciousness. Frank criticism should also be avoided when a person is intoxicated, and one should avoid criticizing a person in front of certain audiences. Criticizing too often or for trivial matters can also make frankness less effective.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend here - https://amzn.to/43fRQcdTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay How To Tell A Flatterer From A FriendThis episode focuses specifically on how flatterers engage in imitation of, rather than genuine, frankness of speech with the people that they want to deceive into thinking they are actually friends. Plutarch identifies several ways in which the seeming frankness of flatterers differs from that of friends, and notes a particularly problematic tendency. Flatterers will often criticize the opposite of the vice, problem, or emotion that the flattered person has, which encourages them in that bad disposition or emotion.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend here - https://amzn.to/43fRQcdTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

Among these are using a fake frankness of speech, imitating similarities with the person targeted, pretending to share the same problems or deficits, praising the person wrongly for their character rather than just their actions, and using a kind of "silent flattery" in actions.You can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend here - https://amzn.to/43fRQcdTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay How To Tell A Flatterer From A FriendThis episode focuses specifically on one area in which we can tell flatterers from genuine friends, namely their attitudes and behavior towards other flatterers and towards our genuine friends. Flatterers will be envious of other flatterers and compete with them, and they will attempt to isolate their target from genuine friends. Real friends, by contrast, will want their friend to have other friendships and not be entirely dependent upon a single friend. Flatterers will also exhibit a two-faced behavior towards genuine friends. Publicly they will praise them and pretend to be respectful of them.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay How To Tell A Flatterer From A FriendThis episode focuses specifically on criteria we can use to tell flatterers from friends. Early on in the work, Plutarch considers three potential criteria, namely whether a person gives pleasure to the other person, whether a person gives praise to the other person, or whether a person does services and courtesies to the other person. None of these work on their own to successfully differentiate friend from flatterer, and some people mistakenly think that one should swing to the other extreme and be disagreeable and fault-finding in order not to be a flattererYou can find the copy of the text I am using for this sequence on Plutarch's How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend here - https://amzn.to/43fRQcdTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Gorgias.This lecture focuses specifically on a set of points that Socrates makes in his conversation with Gorgias, outlining a common dynamic that tends to produce anger and even lead to abusive language between people who are discussing or exploring a subject matter together. When subject matters or topics are difficult to define, people will accuse each other of being unclear or incorrect in what they say. It is easy for interlocutors to assume that the other person is arguing their position in bad faith, out of a desire to win, to be right, to dominate, rather than a desire to seek out and articulate the truth together.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Plato's Gorgias - https://amzn.to/3yjaoMY
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Gorgias.This lecture focuses specifically on a passage in the conversation between Socrates and the host of the evening's conversations, Callicles. After Callicles has told Socrates that philosophy is fine for children and young men, but that a mature man ought to leave it behind, Socrates ironically tells Callicles that he is certain to get a good assessment of his character from Callicles. Socrates claims that for a person who wants to be a good tester and judge of whether others are living their lives well, and whether their souls are well-nurtured, three characteristics are needed.These three are knowledge (epistēmē) good will (eunoia), and frankness or freedom of speech (parrhēsia). Socrates claims that Callicles has demonstrated that he possesses all three of these traits, and has displayed them towards Socrates.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Plato's Gorgias - https://amzn.to/3yjaoMY
This lecture discusses key ideas from the work of the 20th century novelist and short story writer, Franz Kafka, "On Parables"discusses the terminology used in the story, the distinction between the words of the wise which are parables and the needs and cares of our daily lives, and a metaparable that this short story ends on.Here is the story in its entirety:Many complain that the words of the wise are always merely parables and of no use in daily life, which is the only life we have. When the sage says: ‘Go over,’ he does not mean that we should cross to some actual place, which we could do anyhow if the labor were worth it; he means some fabulous yonder, something unknown to us, something too that he cannot designate more precisely, and therefore cannot help us here in the very least. All these parables really set out to say merely that the incomprehensible is incomprehensible, and we know that already. But the cares we have to struggle with every day: that is a different matter.Concerning this a man once said: Why such reluctance? If you only followed the parables you yourselves would become parables and with that rid of all your daily cares.Another said: I bet that is also a parable.The first said: You have won.The second said: But unfortunately only in parable.The first said: No, in reality: in parable you have lostTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Franz Kafka, The Complete Stories - amzn.to/3y29u37

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Having Many Friends.This episode focuses specifically on the reasonings he provides for the impossibility or impracticability of having many friends (poluphilia) in any genuine sense of the term. Some of these stem from the difficulties involved in doing justice to all of our relationships. Others arise from the variance we are bound to encounter among the people we would like to call friends.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Having Many Friends.This episode focuses specifically on his advice that, if we want to have good friendships, we need to try and test people before becoming fully friends with them.

This lecture discusses the 19th-20th century philosopher and psychologist, William James, and focuses on his essay, "The Will To Believe". Specifically it discusses the relationship between certitude or certainty and truth. James distinguishes two different orientations towards these, which he calls empiricism and absolutism. Absolutism holds that we can attain some absolute certainty, and that we can know with certainty that we know the truth. Empiricism about philosophy notes that there is no criterion for truth about which there has been a consensus.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase The Writings of William James - amzn.to/2X4J9kY

Reason not only recognizes these limits but also imposes them upon itself and on the faculty of understanding.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - amzn.to/49pc1Xm
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant's work, The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.Specifically it focuses on the conclusion of the third part, specifically what he calls the "natural ends of reason's uses of transcendent concepts." Kant notes that what he is engaging in is conjecture rather than deriving knowledge. He also clarifies whether or not this study fits into the domain of metaphysics proper.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - amzn.to/49pc1Xm

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant's work, The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.Specifically it focuses on the section finishing the third part, before the conclusion, titled "General Remark on the Transcendental Ideas." Kant writes:"The objects, which are given us by experience, are in many respects incomprehensible, and many questions, to which the law of nature leads us, when carried beyond a certain point (though quite conformably to the laws of nature), admit of no answer; as for example the question: why substances attract one another? But if we entirely quit nature, or in pursuing its combinations, exceed all possible experience, and so enter the realm of mere ideas, we cannot then say that the object is incomprehensible, and that the nature of things proposes to us insoluble problems. For we are not then concerned with nature or in general with given objects, but with concepts, which have their origin merely in our reason, and with mere creations of thought; and all the problems that arise from our notions of them must be solved, because of course reason can and must give a full account of its own procedure.As the psychological, cosmological, and theological Ideas are nothing but pure concepts of reason, which cannot be given in any experience, the questions which reason asks us about them are put to us not by the objects, but by mere maxims of our reason for the sake of its own satisfaction. They must all be capable of satisfactory answers, which is done by showing that they are principles which bring our use of the understanding into thorough agreement, completeness, and synthetical unity, and that they so far hold good of experience only, but of experience as a whole.Although an absolute whole of experience is impossible, the idea of a whole of cognition according to principles must impart to our knowledge a peculiar kind of unity, that of a system, without which it is nothing but piecework, and cannot be used for proving the existence of a highest purpose (which can only be the general system of all purposes), I do not here refer only to the practical, but also to the highest purpose of the speculative use of reason.The transcendental Ideas therefore express the peculiar application of reason as a principle of systematic unity in the use of the understanding. Yet if we assume this unity of the mode of cognition to be attached to the object of cognition, if we regard that which is merely regulative to be constitutive, and if we persuade ourselves that we can by means of these Ideas enlarge our cognition transcendently, or far beyond all possible experience, while it only serves to render experience within itself as nearly complete as possible, i.e., to limit its progress by nothing that cannot belong to experience: we suffer from a mere misunderstanding in our estimate of the proper application of our reason and of its principles, and from a Dialectic, which both confuses the empirical use of reason, and also sets reason at variance with itself."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - amzn.to/49pc1Xm
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant's work, The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.Specifically it focuses on his discussion in the Third Part Of The Transcendental Problem: How is metaphysics in general possible? Specifically this bears upon what he calls the "theological idea". Kant writes:"The third transcendental Idea, which affords matter for the most important, but, if pursued only speculatively, transcendent and thereby dialectical use of reason, is the ideal of pure reason. Reason in this case does not, as with the psychological and the cosmological Ideas, begin from experience, and err by exaggerating its grounds, in striving to attain, if possible, the absolute completeness of their series. It rather totally breaks with experience, and from mere concepts of what constitutes the absolute completeness of a thing in general, consequently by means of the idea of a most perfect primal Being, it proceeds to determine the possibility and therefore the actuality of all other things. And so the mere presupposition of a Being, who is conceived not in the series of experience, yet for the purposes of experience—for the sake of comprehending its connexion, order, and unity—i.e., the idea [the notion of it], is more easily distinguished from the concept of the understanding here, than in the former cases. Hence we can easily expose the dialectical illusion which arises from our making the subjective conditions of our thinking objective conditions of objects themselves, and an hypothesis necessary for the satisfaction of our reason, a dogma. As the observations of the Critique on the pretensions of transcendental theology are intelligible, clear, and decisive, I have nothing more to add on the subject."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - amzn.to/49pc1Xm

These include the lack of universal agreement or consensus, the advances of all the other sciences, and the lack of any settled criteria for the discipline. in Kant's view, it is time to ask the question whether metaphysics as a science is even possible, and what it would requireTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics - https://amzn.to/49pc1Xm

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Aristotle's Politics, where he raises the idea of a person who so clearly excels everyone else around them in virtue that it seems strange to have them governed by others. He suggests that such a person is a law unto themself, and that if you're fortunate enough to have such a person, they ought to be given authority.You can get Aristotle's Politics here - https://amzn.to/2LBsQTjThe faint music in the background is Mesmerize by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500005Artist: http://incompetech.com/

This lecture discusses the late ancient monastic theologian, John Cassian's work Institutes of the Coenobia, book 8, "Of The Spirit of Anger". It focuses specifically on a common argument people make to excuse their own lapses into anger and bad temper, claiming that in Scripture God is said to get angry at people. Cassian's response is to point out that these passages are not to be taken literally, any more than are passages making other similar anthropomorphic claims about God. Instead, the divine anger is not to be understood anthropopathos, that is, along the lines of human passions or emotions.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase John Cassian's Institutes - amzn.to/3zK6j2b

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, the Poetics, focusing on the different modes of what Aristotle calls "recognition" (anagnōrisis), one of the key features of good plots in tragedy. He writes:"The definition of recognition was stated earlier. As for its kinds, first is the least artistic and the one used the most from uninventiveness: recognition through tokens....The second kind are those contrived by the poet, and hence inartistic. ... The third kind is through memory, when the sight of something brings awareness...Fourth is recognition by reasoning . . .There is also compound recognition which depends on the audience's mistaken reasoning...Best of all is recognition ensuing from the events themselves, where the emotional impact comes from a probable sequence."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Poetics - amzn.to/3UcswRY

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, the Poetics, focusing on Aristotle's definition of tragedy, which runs:"Tragedy, then, is mimesis of an action which is elevated, complete, and of magnitude; in language embellished by distinct forms in its sections; employing the mode of enactment, not narrative; and through pity and fear accomplishing the catharsis a of such emotions. I use "embellished'' for language with rhythm and melody, and "distinct forms" for the fact that some parts are conveyed through metrical speech alone, others again through song."He also identifies six parts or elements of tragedy, provides definitions of them, and sets out their order of importance:"Plot, then, is the first principle and, as it were, soul of tragedy, while character is secondary. (A similar principle also holds in painting: if one were to cover a surface randomly with the finest colours, one would provide less pleasure than by an outline of a picture.) Tragedy is mimesis of action, and it is chiefly for the sake of theaction that it represents the agents. Third in importance is thought: that is, the capacity to say what is pertinent and apt, which in formal speeches is the task of politics and rhetoric. The earliest poets made people speak politically, present day poets make them speak rhetorically. Character is .that which reveals moral choice-that is, when otherwise unclear, what kinds of thing an agent chooses or rejects ( which is why speeches in which there is nothing at all the speaker chooses or rejects contain no character); while thought covers the parts in which they demonstrate that something is or is not so, or declare a general view. Fourth is the diction of the spoken sections: as stated earlier, I define diction as expression through choice of words-something which has the same capacity in both verse and prose. Of the remainder, lyric poetry is the greatest embellishment, while spectacle is emotionally potent but falls quite outside the art and is not integral to poetry: tragedy' capacity is independent of performance and actors, and, besides, the costumier's art has more scope than the poet's for rendering effects of spectacle."To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIOYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Poetics - https://amzn.to/3UcswRY

This lecture discusses key ideas from the fantasy and science fiction author N.K. Jemisin's short story The Ones Who Stay And Fight, found in her work How Long Til Black Future Month? This story is a response to and homage about Ursula K Leguin's short story Those Who Walk Away From Omelas, and attempts to present a picture of and justification for a utopian civilization. One interesting feature of the story is that Jemisin addresses an outraged and angry interlocutor from our society who considers inequality and difference to be naturally interconnected. The utopian society of Um-Helat has people, "social workers" who protect it from the contamination of evil mindsets and actions coming from our world.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get a copy of Get How Long Til Black Future Month? here - https://amzn.to/3LZipuP

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "How To Seem Virtuous Without Actually Being So".It focuses upon MacIntyre's contention that not only do we not have any substantive and systematic shared public morality, what is available to us in our late modern culture is at best a shared rhetoric, and it remain inadequate for understanding and inculcating the virtues. He provides three examples where some adequate understanding of virtues in conflict would be needed.

As he notes, the appeals to virtue, character and the like do not represent a shared public morality, let along a systematic and coherent account of the virtues, but rather just a common moral rhetoric, used in ordinary life and in politics.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerYou can get MacIntyre's Education in Morality here - https://amzn.to/40ns6Jy

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American philosopher Robert Audi's article, "The Ethical Significance of Cost Benefit Analysis".It focuses specifically on whether virtue ethics, typically not associated with cost-benefit analysis, should incorporate that approach as a tool. Audi argues that virtue ethics can use cost benefit analysis in three ways. One of these is to determine how to deal with conflicts between what virtues require. Another is as a way to make prudential decisions.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century English author, linguist, and literary critic J.R.R. Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories
It focuses specifically on his discussion, at the very end of the work, of what he terms "eucatastrophe" (as opposed to duscatastrophe) as a function of fairy stories, the "happy ending" that occurs through pain, suffering, loss, but not a final defeat. There is a joy both for sub-creators and for readers or listeners of the stories, and it is connected to the good news or evangelium that comes through the stories.

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the common criticism that gets made of fantasy, science fiction, and fairy stories, namely that they are escapes from the reality of the ordinary life that we have a duty to remain with.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient letter collection called the Cynic Epistles. This one looks at those letters (most likely falsely) attributed to Crates, the third scholarch of the Cynic school.Specifically it focuses on the Cynic practice of begging or asking for resources from other people. In the letters, a number of distinctions get made about who one should beg and receive from and why, and conversely who one shouldn't ask or take from. Begging was one distinctive feature of lived Cynic philosophy.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase the Cynic Epistles - https://amzn.to/42qi3nF

This one looks at those letters (most likely falsely) attributed to Crates, the third scholarch of the Cynic school.Specifically it focuses on the notion of "toil" (ponos, ponein) in Cynic philosophy and practice. The Cynics argue that toil, that is actively engaging in work and enduring what one encounters, is what leads a person to development of the virtues, which include wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage. Our engagement with toil is both voluntary and involuntary, and if we do not choose the right sorts of toil, because we want to avoid it, we will have to deal with other sorts of toil as unpleasant consequencesTo support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase the Cynic Epistles - https://amzn.to/42qi3nF

Crates discusses or references a number of the virtues, including wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage, as well as vices opposed to these.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 7 about a good moral state, self-control or self-restraint (enkrateia). A person who is self-controlled knows what the right or good thing to do is, and does that, but has to struggle against their desire to do something else.This is the state opposed to akrasia, or lack/loss of self-control. Self-control is not the same state as moral virtue (arete), but is similar to it in that the person who is self-controlled does what a virtuous person does, but with a different motivation.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics - amzn.to/30S00ZT

This is a condition in which the higher, rational, part of the person is not just corrupted (as is the case in vice), but is either not present or not working in any significant sense, reducing the person to the level of animality. Aristotle discusses how this differs from vice, some of the causes and manifestations of brutality, as well as what he calls "morbid dispositions" as a sub-class of these.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics - amzn.to/30S00ZT

Anger is more open than desires for pleasure. Anger is also more closely connected to rationality. He also thinks that it is a more natural feeling for a person to be affected by. And, a person who acts in anger feels pain, not just pleasure.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics - amzn.to/30S00ZT

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 3, and examines his treatment of boulēsis - translated as "wish", "will", or "rational desire".Wish or rational desire is one of the three main types of desire or affectivity (orexis) that Aristotle distinguishes (the other two being "appetite", epithumia, and "spirited desire" or "anger", thumos). Wish orients us affectively towards ends or desired goals.Presumably wish is for the good - but is it for the genuine good or just what appears to be good to particular human beings? This is one of the several issues raised and discussed in this section.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics - amzn.to/30S00ZT
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.Specifically it focuses focuses on his discussion in book 3 of a key ethical matter, moral or deliberative choice (prohairesis), discussed in book 3.Choice is intimately connected with character, virtues and vices, and what kind of a person one turns out to be. For Aristotle, it also involves deliberation about means for ends, and provides an important junction connecting a person's affective or desirous side and a person's rational or intellectual side. Choice is also a sub-section of the category of the "voluntary" for Aristotle, so it bears important implications for the distinction between the voluntary and the involuntary.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics - amzn.to/30S00ZT

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligationsSpecifically it examines he question of whether justice has a priority over the other virtues. Or, more precisely, whether the duties associated with justice have a priority over the duties associated with the other virtues.Cicero does give justice and its duties this priority, and he provides some lines of argument for why this would be the case. He maintains that justice does have priority over wisdom and courage, but he says that it does not have priority over temperance, at least in one respect.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Cicero's On Duties - amzn.to/2xYHJLN(Amazon links are associate links.

One main dimension of temperance or moderation is speech and conversation, and Cicero provides a number of guidelines for how temperance is displayed in our communication with others.Some of these have to do with how one speaks with or to others, but Cicero is still more focused on the content of what one says.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligationsSpecifically it examines his short discussion about how faction or partisan divisions arise within a society. Generally, this takes place because those involved in government give priority to their own individual good or the good of a part of the community, over the common good. Cicero also discusses "electioneering" - a common practice in the century leading up to the fall of the Roman Republic - and how it can be problematic. He sets out rules for how a person ought to engage their political rivals and opponents - treating them as common members of their shared society, rather than as enemies.To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadlerIf you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoMYou can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadlerPurchase Cicero's On Duties - amzn.to/2xYHJLN(Amazon links are associate links.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligationsSpecifically it examines the different ways in which human beings are related to each other - from belonging to the same human race or species, to being members or fellow citizens of the same political community, to being members of the same local community, to being family or friends with each other. Each of these types of relationships - which can be understood in terms of concentric circles - involves some duties of beneficence (one form of the virtue of justice) between people. Which of them has a higher or more stringent demand upon us? Cicero views the state or political community as having the highest, but also includes family as well.

This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Discourse on Method, and focuses on his discussion at the end of part 4 of whether we can trust the truth of our waking thoughts or not - and whether we can distinguish them apart from thoughts arising in dreams.
The veracity and goodness of God plays a central role in Descartes' argument here, since that allows him to use the criterion of "clear and distinct" conceptions for the truth of our thoughts or ideas.

This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Discourse on Method, and focuses on on his references in part 4 to being and nothingness (néant) in relation to truth and falsity.
Descartes writes of our ideas - when they are clear and distinct - as being true and as participating in being. When our ideas are confused and obscure, they are false and - as he tells us - they "participate in nothingness." We can also think about our own metaphysical status as poised in some sense between the fullness of being and nothingness.

Purchase Descartes' Discourse on Method - https://amzn.to/3qudsio
This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Discourse on Method, and focuses on his discussion in part 4 of what can be called into doubt and what cannot.
Descartes argues that any ideas that come to us through the medium of the senses can be called into doubt. Going even further, even logical and geometrical/mathematical demonstrations can be doubted. And we cannot even be sure at any given time whether we are awake or dreaming.
What cannot be doubted - for the person who is engaged in doubt - is the very fact that one exists. Here we arrive at the famous Cartesian "cogito ergo sum", or in the French of the Discourse, "je pense, donc je suis" (I think, therefore I exist).

This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Discourse on Method, and focuses on his evaluation in book 1 of the academic subjects that he studied, and their capacities to provide us with genuine knowledge. He considers languages, history, literature, poetry, rhetoric, theology, philosophy, and mathematics.
The only subject in which he is able to find certain and incontrovertible proofs - agreement among its practitioners - is mathematics. Philosophy up to his time - in Descartes' view - cannot provide proper foundations for the other disciplines, because philosophers disagree with each other and their principles.

Prudence is one of the most important of the virtues or dispositions, and provides a key linkage between the various moral virtues, such as justice, courage, or temperance, and the intellect. It provides the ability to deliberate well about means to ends, and to adapt general principles to specific situations.

Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 6, and examines his discussion of the intellectual virtue of Techne, which can be translated as "craft", "art", "skill" or "productive knowledge".
Techne is an intellectual habitus or hexis through which a person is able to produce something in a deliberate manner. For this reason, Aristotle says that it bears upon contingent rather than necessary matters, and in fact upon matters that chance could also bear upon.
The person who is a skilled technician is also able to deliberately produce poor performance or products, as well as good.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 6, and examines his discussion of the intellectual virtue of wisdom (sophia).
According to Aristotle, wisdom is a composite or integration of two other intellectual virtues - nous (intelligence, intellect), which supplies a grasp of the first principles; and episteme (science, knowledge), which reasons using those first principles to provide a coherent body of knowledge.
He also maintains that wisdom in this sense is distinct from and superior to practical wisdom (phronesis) - the former has to do with higher things, matters that do not change or whose principles do not change, while the latter bears upon the human world of contingent affairs and actions.

Nous, according to the anthropology/psychology of knowledge outlined in book 6, involves the grasp of first principles that other intellectual virtues/modes of knowing then focus upon. Aristotle connects Nous particularly with scientific knowledge (episteme), and maintains that both of them are integrated in wisdom (sophia).

Scientific knowledge, according to Aristotle, bears upon matters whose principles do not change, or which are "from necessity". It works rationally from principles or starting points (archai), but does not supply those principles themselves. It also has to do with universals.

Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 6, and examines his discussion of the intellectual virtues and the parts of the human soul in book 6.
Aristotle distinguishes between two higher, intellectual or rational parts of the soul, one concerned with theoretical matters, which are from necessity and whose principles do not change, and the other with practical matters, which have to do with action and production.
Three of the intellectual virtues - scientific knowledge (episteme), intellect or intuition (nous), and wisdom (sophia) - are habits that perfect the highest part of the soul in human beings. Two other intellectual virtues - practical wisdom (phronesis) and art or skill (techne) - perfect the second-highest, practical part of the soul.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 6, and examines his distinction between truth in theory (or in contemplation, i.e. bearing upon theoretical or speculative matters) and truth in practice (or action, i.e. bearing upon practical or productive matters).
In theoretical matters, truth has to do primarily with the correspondence between what is or is not the case, on one side, and thought in the mind (or linguistic expressions).
Truth in practical matters is somewhat more complex, since it involves not only what is the case in the intellect, but also the desire or affectivity of the person (and intellect and desire come together in prohairesis, or the faculty of choice). It also involves desire and aversion on the part of the person.

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher, Martin Heidegger, and focuses on his essay "Plato's Doctrine of Truth" found in the book, Pathmarks
Heidegger views Plato's shift in the understanding of the essence of truth - from unhiddenness to correctness - as setting western thought on the path of metaphysics and humanism.
He also briefly discusses how Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, and Friedrich Nietzsche figure into this history of western metaphysics, further developing additional conceptions of truth that remain within the trajectory originally established by Plato.

Here we examine what Heidegger takes the Allegory of the Cave - found in book 7 of Plato's Republic - to be about.
Plato construes the allegory as a teaching about the nature or essence of education (paideia), but Heidegger stresses that the allegory also represents a very important turning point in human conceptions about the essence of truth (aletheia).

Here we examine the four "dwelling places" Heidegger identifies in the Allegory of the Cave - found in book 7 of Plato's Republic.
Each of the different dwelling places involves a different attitude towards truth or "unhiddness" (aletheia) in Heidegger's interpretation. The allegory charts the movement from one dwelling place to the next, and thereby from one conception of truth to another.

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher, Martin Heidegger, and focuses on his essay "Plato's Doctrine of Truth" found in the book, Pathmarks
Heidegger distinguishes between two basic conceptions of truth. The more primary - and older - conception of truth is of aletheia or unhiddenness. The newer conception of truth - associated with Plato - makes truth a matter of orthotes, or correctness. This correctness has to do with correspondence between the ideas or forms - which allow individual things to be what they are - and human perception, cognition, or language.

It focuses specifically on his discussion of justice in the will as truth or rectitude. The specifically moral conception of justice that deserves praise or blame is a matter of willing what one ought, because one ought, and in order to maintain that very rectitude, which allows Anselm to define justice in the will as "rectitude of will maintained for its own sake".

This leads Augustine to reflect upon the nature of human motivation - particularly the motivations that explain wrong or evil actions and choices. In trying to get to the roots of the Pear Tree incident, he finds that his action ultimately had to be explained by saying that he desired evil - which is really a nothing or nullity.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Republic, in particular book 7.
Specifically it examines his famous Allegory of the Cave set out early in book 7. After being liberated from the cave and gradually habituated to see real things in daylight, and eventually the source of light in the sun, as opposed to the shadows of the cave, the prisoner determines to return to the cave out of a sense of pity or compassion for his fellow prisoners.
Because his eyes are now habituated to seeing in full light, he is bot able to see as well in the dimly lit cave. Because he knows that the play of shadows on the wall are mere images, he does not value them as the reality the prisoners think them to be. His fellow prisoners laugh at him, think he has damaged his vision, and become hostile to him when he proposes liberating them.
This portion of the allegory describes in narrative form what happens to the philosopher who has habituated him or herself to contemplation of the immaterial, intelligible Forms, when he or she attempts to help fellow human beings out of their own caves.

In this allegory, prisoners are confined within an underground dwelling, and believe that reality is the images and sounds projected in front of them. One of the prisoners is freed of his chains and brought up into the sunlit world above. After habituation, he becomes able to fully use his power of sight to see real things, the heavens, and the sun that illuminates them.
The allegory is a story about what genuine education would be. Plato rejects the notion of education as simply providing information or filling students' heads with knowledge. Instead, education involves rising above a world of material things, which are only shadows or images of the truer realities, the immaterial Forms. Through developing our minds, we become able to grasp these invisible Forms, and the Form of the Good that is the cause of all things.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Republic, in particular book 6.
Specifically it examines his discussion in the end of book 6 about the likeness or analogy between the Form of the Good and the Sun, which he calls the "offspring" of the Good. Both the Good and the Sun make it possible for the human being to apprehend matters, in the case of the Sun, for vision to apprehend visible objects, in the case of the Good, for the soul to recognize and know the Forms.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Republic, in particular book 6.
Specifically it examines his discussion in the end of book 6 of the "Divided Line". This analogy is used to arrange the matters human beings can grasp and (in some cases) develop knowledge about, ranging from those that posses the least truth and being to those that possess the most.
The four parts of the line include: 1. he domain of shadows, reflections, and other things of that sort; 2. the domain of "real", material, generally visible, objects, such as animals, plants, and human-produced artifacts; 3. some of the forms, those that are grasped to some degree through likenesses; and 4. the forms grasped on their own terms, and the Form of the Good.
We also have four modes of grasping these objects. Eikasia, "imagination" or "picture thinking""; Pistis, "belief"; Dianoia, "discursive thinking"; and Noesis, "understanding" or "intellection".

Augustine views peace as one dimension of the supreme good or final end for human beings, and even the deficient, imperfect, corrupt modes of peace that human beings do desire are in some respect good.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The City of God.
It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 19 arguing that we do not find any lasting peace or happiness in this life. In the course of this discussion, he sets out four concentric circles of relationships that we human being can have.
The first of these is most intimate, and includes the family or household, and our friendships. The second of these is our political or social community, the city. The third is the world as a whole, encompassing all of the peoples and members of the human race. The fourth extends to the cosmos, and includes spiritual beings such as the gods (as understood by pagans) or the good and bad angels (as understood within a Christian perspective).

Purchase Augustine's City of God - amzn.to/2GJGM0s
This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The City of God.
It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 19 bearing on whether the virtues - prudence, justice, courage, and temperance - are the supreme good for human beings or whether they are instead something that can lead us towards the supreme good and happiness.
In examining this, Augustine is criticizing ancient pagan virtue ethics, in particular those of the Stoics, but also those of Aristotelians and Platonists. One of his main arguments is that, in this life, virtues carry out a perpetual war with their opposed vices, and that they do so within us.

It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 19 focused on the present life's prospects for human happiness and enjoying the supreme good or final end for human beings. As rational beings, our nature and our desires cannot be entirely fulfilled by the things and goods of this life. Augustine examines this matter in terms of the vulnerability of the body and the soul, the struggle of the virtues with the vices, and the strife and conflict involved in social existence.

It focuses specifically on his discussion at the beginning of book 19, setting out a vast number of philosophical "sects", based on a variety of distinctions. This classification is taken from Marcus Varro's now-lost work, De Philosophia, and has to do with what each sect thinks human beings desire, how they vide virtue, whether they adopt stances from Academic skepticism or Cynicism, what type of life they adopt, and so on.

Specifically it focuses focuses on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics bk 5, where Aristotle says that "justice is an equivocal term", meaning that there are multiple senses of the term "justice".
A careful analysis of Aristotle's text reveals that there are actually six main conceptions of justice discussed by him there: legal justice, justice as complete virtue, distributive justice, corrective justice, reciprocity, and equity.

He also distinguishes objective capacities from communicative/sign systems, and power relations, and discusses how they interconnect with each other. He finishes with the notion of "disciplines" as blocks of these three, and what the disciplining of society would mean (it's not that everything is a prison)

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Dominican friar, Thomas Aquinas, and focuses on his Summa Theologiae, Prima Pars, q. 2.
It focuses upon his discussion in article 3, which sets out the famous "Five Ways," each of which is a separate argument for the existence of God, conceived in some specific manner. Each of these is intended to be an a posteriori argument
The first way focuses on motion or change, and argues that God is the Prime Mover. The second way focuses on efficient causality, and argues that God is the First Cause. the third way focuses on possibility and necessity, and argues that God is Necessary Being. The fourth focuses on degrees of being, and argues that God is supreme goodness, being, and every other perfection. The fifth way, a design argument, focuses on order and governance within the world, and argues to God as the governor or orderer of all things.
In this article, we also consider a version of the Argument from Evil, and a discussion about adequacy of explanation that prefigures Occam's Razor

He also makes a useful distinction between different types of demonstrations.

This lecture focuses specifically on what Deleuze calls "Melvillian psychiatry" in the essay, distinguishing three main types of characters Melville's works center upon - demoniacal monomaniacs, angelic hypochondriacs, and "prophets" who witness to them as they try to enforce the law. Deleuze also discusses two different dynamics of identification, one which he associates with neuroses and narcissism, the other of which he associates with psychosis and schizophrenia.

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 1 bearing on slavery, and whether it is simply unnatural and therefore unjust, or whether in some cases it is natural. Aristotle argues that there are some people who are "natural slaves", but this class is smaller in his work than the much wider extension of those who would later use Aristotle to justify slavery in the Americas lent that concept.

Purchase Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals here - https://amzn.to/3rzOpJt
This lecture discusses the 19th century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, and discusses his work The Genealogy of Morals.
It focuses specifically on the theory of punishment he articulates there, distinguishing between the origins and the later purposes of punishment.
It turns out that there is no one single "meaning" of punishment, with the implication that any of the main contemporary theories that stress one primary meaning, goal, or function of punishment (retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation, etc.) can provide at best a partial picture of what is really going on.
Nietzsche theorizes that the origin of punishment lies in the relationship between creditor and debtor - the right exercised by the creditor to exact or impose something painful or humiliating upon the debtor, in order to gain some pleasure or some tradeoff in the process. He stresses that this is not the main meaning of punishment - the origin is not the same thing as the meaning.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century philosopher, essayist, and theologian, Søren Kierkegaard's review essay "The Present Age" contained in his review of Two Ages: The Age of Revolution and the Present Age
It focuses specifically on what Kierkegaard calls the process of "leveling", which is a form envy takes in the present age. Although leveling can occur partially through the actions of particular and concrete groups and individuals, it is an abstract process that occurs through reflection, and an equally abstract public and press

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 9 of a key issue involved in friendships and other relationships: the exchanges of gifts, favors, and other good things between those involved in the relationship.
Aristotle does not consider it unnatural or immoral for there to be expectations of some sort of give and take, or reciprocity between those involved in a friendship. How do we determine what is enough, or too much, or too little in these sorts of cases? He provides some guidelines and criteria for determining this issue.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 9 of the issue of self-love (philautia) and how it fits into his advocacy of friendship (philia) as a significant good.
Aristotle distinguishes between two very different types of self-love, making the distinction based upon the kinds of goods that are being desired, valued, and shared or competed over. When self-love is a matter of wanting things like wealth, physical pleasure, or honor, then self-love necessarily pits us against love, friendship, or care for others. When, however, it is focused on higher goods, like virtue, the person who loves him or herself will desire to acquire and exercise those goods, which will also benefit others.

The person who is there when things are easy or who sticks around when matters get hard? And how should we act towards our own friends who find themselves in difficulties?

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 9 of changes in friendships. These changes typically involve either the friends themselves changing, or the circumstances that brought the friends into the relationship - the bases of virtue, pleasure, or usefulness - changing over time.
Aristotle thinks that it is natural for many friendships to break down if the bases for the friendship disappear. At the same time, he doesn't think that one should easily or quickly abandon well-established friendships.

A good person can exhibit the characteristic traits of friendship towards him or herself, but a bad person cannot.

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 9 of a common issue that arises with relationships or friendships: how to address the demands upon oneself that come with multiple friendships.
Who should we give priority to, if we find ourselves not able to fulfill all of our obligations or the expectations out upon us? Should we, for example, ransom the person who ransomed us? Or our father? Should we focus more on newer friendships or on older ones? Aristotle provides guidelines for dealing with these sorts of issues.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 8 about the question about whether bad people can be friends. His answer is that they certainly can be friends with others, including other bad people, in some sense, but not in the primary sense of friendship. And, the friendships of the bad will often be less lasting, more challenged and stressed, than those of other people.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 8 of the question whether one person can indeed have many friends or not.
The answer, for Aristotle, depends on what sense of "friendship" we mean. If we mean the primary and highest sense, a friendship based on virtue or moral goodness, his answer is no. But if we mean friendships based on pleasure or usefulness, the answer is yes -- and he thinks that we ought to work to have and enjoy many such friendships.

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 8 about how friendship and affection function within the context of relationships in the family, the household, and in marriage
Common examples are when one person is getting pleasure out of the relationship, but the other is getting some merely useful good - or when one person is friends with the other on account of the virtuous character of the other, but can only provide a useful good or pleasure to the other person. These are important types of friendship, and Aristotle discusses what is required to provide a kind equalization or proportionality to them.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics.
Specifically it focuses on his discussions of three main types of friendship -- friendship in terms of good character or virtue, which is friendship in the fullest sense -- friendship based on pleasure -- and friendship based on usefulness. We explore the differences between these kinds of friendship, why friendships of pleasure or usefulness are less durable, and whether a bad person can be a friend or not.

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Blaise Pascal's Pensees, section 332, in which he reflects upon the nature of tyranny, which he interprets as demanding what is not one's due. This is often the case for people who are outstanding in one respect, and who unjustly demand respect or priority on some other grounds.

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics book 1 chapter 7, in which Aristotle is discussing what kinds of people have developed good judgement about matters, particularly those concerned with what he calls Political Science and Moral Science or Ethics, the discipline involved in living well. He references two distinct types or sources of immaturity that would make a person less able to study, understand, and apply ethics - immaturity of age and immaturity of character

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Epictetus' Enchiridion, chapter 34, in which Epictetus suggests a practice that we can engage in when we are encountering something that tempts us with the promise of enjoying pleasure. Instead of giving in right away, we can take a pause and consider how we will feel after either indulging in the pleasure or resisting it. We might even feel a greater pleasure in having maintained our own self-control.

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Lev Shestov's book All Things Are Possible (part 1, ch. 42), in which he discusses the "raptures of the creative process" imagined by consumers of creative works, and the mistaken syllogistic inference they engage in. A more realistic view is that "creative activity is a continual progression from failure to failure".

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Ion, during which Socrates questions Ion, a rhapsode, about his art.
It focuses specifically on Socrates' theory about Poetry expressed there, namely that the Poets (and also their interpreters, the Rhapsodes, like Ion) don't actually possess and work from knowledge, but rather are divinely possessed or inspired.
Socrates sets out an analogy -- the action of the god on the poet, and the poet on the audience is like magnetic force running from a magnet to an iron ring, and communicating that magnetic attraction to the next ring, and the next. . .

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Benedictine monk Anselm of Canterbury's dialogue, On Freedom of Choice (the second work in a trilogy including On Truth and On The Fall of the Devil)
It focuses specifically on the distinction that he makes between two different senses of "will" (voluntas). One of these is will-as-instrument, or as the faculty of the will. The other is will-as-use, the act or willing, or the use of that instrument or faculty. Making this distinction allows explanation of how our will could be strong enough not to be mastered by temptation, and yet give in to temptation.

The question he is grappling with is how a person, while being free, can make themself into a slave or servant of sin.

He rejects each of these and says that it comes instead from our custom or habit of expecting necessary or customary connections between things we experience.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
It focuses specifically on what distinguishes what goes on in our belief that something is the case or is real, from the workings of the imagination or fancy. In Hume's view the key difference is that belief is accompanied by a feeling or sentiment associated with it.

Purchase Hume's Enquiry - https://amzn.to/3by4R6n
This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
It focuses specifically on the principle that allows us to step beyond the confines of present sense-perception and past memory in "matters of fact" or "real existence". This is the principle of custom or habit, which inclines us to assume that the future will resemble the past. This principle, for Hume, lies at the basis of our association of ideas along the lines of cause and effect.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 120
It focuses specifically on the Stoic perspective that holds virtue to be the genuine good for human beings, by contrast to other points of view that assert there are other genuine goods. He also examines where our conception of virtue and moral goodness (the honestum) come from, and argues that it does not arise in us from nature itself, but rather through "analogy", drawn from our experiences and comparisons. He also cautions about the dangers of mixing up, or fluctuating between virtues and vices.

He presents and criticizes two common Stoic arguments for this position, and then provides a number of arguments of his own against the position

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 89
It focuses specifically what had by his time become a common way of dividing the discipline of philosophy - into Ethics, Physics, and Logic. He explains what each of these fields includes. He also discusses why other schools attempts to add more divisions or to get rid of one or two of the three divisions. The three fields can be subdivided further, and his treatment of Ethics by breaking it down into three main fields is different from the "three disciplines" that Epictetus distinguishes in his Discourses.

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the nature of virtue according to the Stoics, and why virtue is the genuine good, the "honorable" (honestum). According to him, those who view other things like wealth, pleasure, honor, or the body as goods are mistaken and set themselves up for misery by subjecting themselves to fortune.

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the supreme or highest good for human beings, which is what is honorable (honestum), or virtue. Virtue is what renders other things that are good, good - like good actions, good people, and so on. He also discusses a Stoic paradox, namely that all goods, insofar as they are good, are equal - and how virtue provides a measure for everything else.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 66
It discusses how two key Stoic ideas about virtue and goods come together. One of these is the paradoxical assertion that all goods are equal, and the other is that there are three kinds of goods. Seneca addresses this by arguing that virtue is the highest good which makes other things good, that virtue as such is always equal, never greater or lesser, and that the circumstances or matters in which virtue is exercised can vary, giving us different kinds of goods.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 65
It focuses specifically on his discussions of the types of causes understood from Stoic, Aristotelian, and Platonic perspectives. Seneca enumerates the four Aristotelian causes - material, efficient, formal, and final and adds to these the Platonic model or exemplar. From the Stoic perspective, none of these, except for the efficient cause - understood as the productive reason (ratio efficiens) or God - is really a cause.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 58
It discusses several important issues in metaphysics, spurred by considering 6 different types of things Plato is said to have considered to be beings or to have being. Seneca begins with some considerations about the Latin and Greek languages, about about the terms essentia, ousia, to on, and quod est, and then discusses what genera and species are, and how they are arranged in relation to each other. He then discusses the 6 types of being Plato is said to have distinguished, and why individual material things are not really beings - not only from a Platonic, but also a Stoic perspective.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 33
It focuses specifically on his response to Lucilius, who is asking him for maxims, or what we would nowadays call quotes or sound bites - short and catchy passages from Stoic texts that could be memorized as summaries of the doctrine. Seneca views Stoicism as a systematic philosophy, unable to be summed up in maxims, and provides several reasons why - although maxims are suitable for children, and complete beginners - one needs to go beyond mere maxims.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century German Idealist philosopher, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's work, the Phenomenology of Spirit
It focuses specifically on his discussion bearing upon the nature of self-consciousness as desire for the other. The desire (Begierde) is actually for recognition (Anerkennen) from the other. Self-consciousness cannot be what it is - cannot be related to itself, and understand itself adequately - without its other. Following out this dialectic will eventually lead into the dialectic of Master and Slave.

It focuses specifically his discussion in book 11 bearing on the problem of evil, namely why, if there is a perfectly good, omniscient, and omnipotent God, evil exists in the world. One way of initially addressing this is to make the distinction between moral evil, which depends upon the wills of creatures, and natural evil, which has to do with the workings of the natural world - workings which we find bad in some sense.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics
Specifically it focuses upon his discussion of a feeling or emotion (pathos) that is not itself a virtue, but does have a mean or middle position, in book 4. This morally relevant emotion is that of shame(aidos), and Aristotle tells us why the virtuous person will feel shame only "by hypothesis", and how this differs from the shameless person. He also discusses why shame is appropriate for younger people, but not for older people.

his lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Nicomachean Ethics
Specifically it focuses on book 4 of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (and some parallel discussions in the Eudemian Ethics), where he discusses the Virtue of Magnanimity or Great-Souledness, the opposed vices of Small-Souledness and Vanity -- and a fourth state of Modesty or Humbleness.
This is a particularly important virtue for Aristotle, since it ties together the other virtues (like Justice and Prudence do in their ways). Since Magnanimity is associated with pride, it is also a prime example of a fundamental difference between earlier Greek-Roman ways of understanding the virtues, and Judeo-Christian ways of understanding the virtues.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher James Rachels' essay, The Challenge of Cultural Relativism, found in his Elements of Moral Philosophy.
Specifically it examines whether we can or cannot criticize the practices or moral norms of other cultures or not. The relativist is committed to the view that we cannot - and should not - criticize them, without simply imposing our own culture's viewpoint. Rachels argues that this is mistaken.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher James Rachels' essay, The Challenge of Cultural Relativism, found in his Elements of Moral Philosophy.
Specifically it examines the issue whether - as cultural relativists tend to claim - moral norms really are not shared across differing cultures, so that each culture would have its own set of moral norms. Rachels argues for a form of soft universalism, which holds that, while cultural practices may differ considerably, there are some general moral norms acknowledged by the different cultures.
