Additionally, his enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter are palpable, which adds an extra layer of excitement to each episode. Furthermore, Professor Sadler's extensive knowledge not only includes the philosophical writings themselves but also provides historical context, enhancing the overall understanding and appreciation of the topics discussed.

    Plutarch, On Being A Busybody - Curiosity As A Vicious Disposition

    This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Being A Busybody This episode focuses specifically on why the sort of curiosity, inquisitiveness, meddlesomeness, or being a busybody he discusses is actually a vicious disposition, rather than something good. It involves a desire to learn about the troubles, problems, or bad things (kaka in Greek) of others. Instead of focusing upon their own problems or deficits, they focus on those of others.

    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 nature Finding 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/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/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get MacIntyre's After Virtue here - amzn.to/2RiplGT

Dick's novel Ubik It 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. This mystery gets a resolution late in the novel when we discover that they are a result of Jory's inability to maintain a consistent phatasmagoric reality for his soon-to-be victims in half-life.

It focuses on his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of the connections Scheler sees between the modern conception of "altruism" and the dynamic of ressentiment, which he thinks is involved in modern "altruism". Both altruism and egoism as opposites are often used by modern thinkers as a conceptual framework that Christian love does not neatly fit into, and the reduction of Christian love to "altruism", Scheler thinks, is a mistake.
