This is the third in a series of four X/Twitter spaces where I discuss the rise of the Modern university and its relationship to Biblical interpretation.

1d ago2:38:36

2:38:36

This is a recorded X/Twitter space where I discuss many of the richest depths of Aristotle from the perspective of Book 6 of his Nicomachean Ethics. In sharp contrast to the traditional separation of Aristotle's so-called "theoretical" and "practical" writings, I discuss how no such clear separation exists.

Broadly speaking, the theme of the series that I provide in philosophy on my website, AthensCorner.com, center around the various relationships in which philosophy and divine revelation have existed together in the Western philosophical tradition, whether for the Greeks, the medieval Scholastics, the Moderns with their "Modern" science, or the Post…

Aristotle: Slavery and the Entirety of Philosophy 25:38

9M ago25:38

25:38

In preparing to begin an entire series on Plato's longest dialogue the "Laws" for my website AthensCorner.com, I use an almost casual comment by Aristotle in his discussion (or logos) on slavery in the Politics to discuss the way in which inquiry into the art of politics unfolds, and almost immediately (!), into the entirety of philosophy. Among ot…

The Meaning of the "Overman [Übermensch]" in Nietzsche 45:39

11M ago45:39

45:39

Talk of Nietzsche is almost always synonymous with talk of the "Overman [Übermensch]," and so what I do in this discussion is introduce a number of the most definitive themes in Nietzsche's thought by way of an introduction to the Overman in his thought.
