Aristotle - People Who Excel As Laws Unto Themselves...

Sadler"s Lectures ·

2024/02/12

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.

2024/02/11

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Aristotle's Politics, where he discusses how and why authority should be exercised for the genuine good of those who are governed. This is what most fundamentally distinguishes good regimes from bad regimes, according to Aristotle. We can apply this not only to political relations, but any sorts of situations where power is exercised by one or more people over others.

Sadler"s Lectures ·

2024/02/07

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

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 Cassian's contention that unless one deals with the anger one feels and the reasons one ends up getting angry which have to do with one's own mindset, character, and thought processes, it doesn't do one any good to leave other people behind and go out into solitude.

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 his advice that we ought to not retain anger once we begin feel the emotion, a theme that Cassian returns to at multiple points in the chapter. Specifically, we should not take the precept "let not the sun go down on your anger" as an excuse to retain anger for a given time-period To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site

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.
