Podcasts about book vi

We complete Plato's "divided line" schema at the end of Book VI of the Republic (and are going to hold off on the actual allegory of the cave in book VII for the time being, so this is the end of this series for now), discussing the "intelligible" realm and Socrates' strange distinction between the "mere hypotheses" of geometry, where the abstract material is based on empirical matters vs. reasoning that relies only on the forms, yet is enabled by dialectic, as opposed to some kind of intellectual intuition directly of those forms.

Toward the end of Book VI and into Book VII of the Republic, Plato gives a series of metaphors for the role "the good itself" plays in our knowledge and values. We read here starting at line 507b of the G.M.A. Grube/C.D.C Reeve translation, where we hear that the form of the good is to our ability to know anything as the sun is to our ability to see anything. We conclude by discussing the first half of Plato's "divided line" image, whose lower half marks off reflections/images and then the material objects that these are images of. Because these are in the lower half, we can't have any real knowledge of them; thus physical science should be impossible. Follow along with us. Learn more about your ad choices.

Frodo has been a prisoner of the Orcs for more than a year in podcast time, but what's another episode between friends? Before Alan and Don Marshall start our read through of Book VI of The Lord of the Rings, we take a look back at the previous books as we discuss the themes and events of the story so far - maybe with a special eye towards Frodo and Sam, who we'll spend a great deal of time with during the first half of this season. We discuss the composition of Book VI, thankful that Bingo is no longer Frodo's name-oh. Also, what would Tolkien do with a Google Drive?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4468251/advertisement

Time to leave behind the valley of souls, make our way out of Dis place and head back to the land of the living. As the guys wrap up this portion of the epic poem, it's hard to avoid a little bit of interpretive questioning: Why did Vergil couple Rome's glorious future with the tear-jerking, pathos-filled death of Marcellus? How did the man of Mantua really feel about Augustus? Is that lavish, spondaic poety sincere or is there some kowtowing to the guy who cuts his check? And perhaps most of all, why does Aeneas exit the Mall of Persephone through that gate of false dreams? Was it only to prevent the emergency-exit alarm from going off as he heads toward his Iliadic destiny? To get some answers, cast your anchor from the prow, face your sterns toward the shore, grab a bag of huggable portions, and tune in!

Peter Moon discusses a recent trip to Romania where he conducted research related to the Translyvania Rising book series. In the first part of the interview he focuses on what was discovered at a Cioclovina Cave, which he states has clear evidence of being a powerful time reactor. He believes the cave takes special significance during the 20 year planetary biorythm associated with the Montauk Project, which next occurs on 2023. In the latter portion of the interview, Moon focuses on Book VI of the series: Forgotten Genesis where humanity's genetic origins is revealed. Moon covers how holographic records are accessed by the series protagonist Radu Cinamar who is helped in understanding humanity's origins by beings associated with an underground civilization called Apellos. Moon elaborates on Cinamar's information about two human genotypes being created from which Sirians could incarnate on Earth, and a worker race would serve them. The first genotype called E N L would possess more extraterrestrial genetics and thereby have greater psychic and mental abilities. In contrast, the second genotype, E N K would be more robust and better suited for living in Earth conditions. Moon discusses the Sirian geneticist Tenekau (aka Enki) responsible for creating the two human genotypes, which could be mixed to create a long lived hybrid species as discussed in ancient texts such as the King's List and Manetho's history of Egypt.

In this episode we find Aeneas getting closer to a reunion with Dad and maybe even an exit from this Hotel California. But, as we've seen throughout this epic, there's no gain without a healthy dollop of pain. First, there's a horribly awkward rendezvous with a departed Dido who goes all Ajax on Aeneas and ghosts him (literally!) Then we get a glimpse of Tartarus and hear the wretched cries of the damned under the whip of Tisiphone. Finally, the Blissful Groves and a veritable Who's Who of who slew, made it through just to drink Lethe's brew (whew!) All this plus a wrestling Jacob, Tolkien, and a jittery Dave steeling himself for another parade. Don't miss it.

There's no going back now—in this episode we follow along as Aeneas enters the Underworld proper. And if you were expecting a DMV-esque experience like Odysseus had in his jaunt, you'd be sadly mistaken. Turns out the Roman afterlife is more like the 7-story Macy's on West 34th Street. Oh, you're looking for the place where the souls of deceased children reside? Up the escalator past housewares and knick-knacks. The shades of warriors who were just “ok”? Hang a left at kitchen accessories and general appliances. Do we also see an Underworld that is literally becoming more “demonized” in Vergil's hands? Why is the Roman Charon all skeletal and glowing-eyed, while his Greek counterpart is more like Joe Six-Pack? Well, whatever questions you have, get in that leaky boat, drop your obol in the bucket, and hang on for the ride (and don't forget a Milkbone or two for Cerberus).  

Do you smell that? Could it be the warm smell of colitas rising up through the air? Or did Dave over-microwave his gas station burrito again? Well, whatever the odor is, this path paved with good intentions (and a little cement) is leading Aeneas and company to you know where. Our Trojan exiles have finally reached the stillettoed boot of Italy. But before they can plant a flag and put up their feet, Aeneas has to take a detour down into the Underworld for one last chat with dad. But how to get there? As the Cumaean Sybil says, the gettin' in is the easy part, it's the leaving that'll give you fits. So, keep your eye out for lost comrades, watch those birds, and “bough down”, ut dicunt. Such a lovely place, such a lovely face.

There is a whole new Book VI of the Code of Canon Law and this is basically the Super Bowl for JD and Ed. So buckle up, because this is a double-length canon law extravaganza.

We have come to the ninth pit of the sins of fraud, way down in the eighth circle of Dante's INFERNO. We're about to meet a set of souls--well, bodies, more like--who endure unbelievable agony, exactly as bodies have always endured agony under the sword of empire. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at this complicated opening passage for canto XXVIII. It's chock full of historical references. But more importantly, our poet seems to be changing his mind. And changing the rules of the crusading ethic. Because the body in pain makes and unmakes the world itself. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:41] My English translation of INFERNO, Canto XXVIII, lines 1 - 21. If you'd like to read along or even drop a comment about this episode, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com. [03:59] The opening buried reference to THE AENEID, Book VI, lines 625 - 627. [07:06] References to Pulgia and Livy explored. [10:59] References to Robert Guiscard, Manfred, and Érard de Valéry explored. [14:20] The four historical dates (or battles) in this complicated passage. [19:58] Two implications from this passage. 1) We cannot determine who will end up where in the afterlife based on wins and losses in this world. [23:27] 2) The cost of empire is the body in pain. [24:54] Some of those bodies in pain are Muslims. [25:51] The body in pain makes and unmakes language. [29:39] Back to the opening of the canto: The body in pain confounds yet needs unbound words in a hollow space. [34:15] A second reading through the passage: Inferno, Canto XXVIII, lines 1 - 21.

While we did say we were moving to an every other week schedule for the summer, we will be releasing Mini's where necessary. And this is one of those weeks! With Summer Heroes just around the corner, and the Book VI Midpoint New Heroes to discuss, we wanted to give them their due in this Mini. Plus there's a new Resplendent Hero on the horizon! We'll be back next episode with a look at the latest Summer Special Heroes and more Awakening Game Club.

This week we have a lot to discuss as not only is the next version update coming, and we have the details of the Legendary Myrrh to go over, but we also have a FEH Channel for the Book VI midpoint, complete with a tease for the next banner, tie ins to Three Hopes and a surprise update to a current mode. We also have 5 chapters of Awakening to go through as we start gathering all the paralogues we had been building up, alongside a road map for the rest of the Awakening Game Club.

How are dance parties related to diplomacy? The schisms continue in Book VI within the greek army, but some schisms seem better than others. Some try to make friends with the locals, some go for help, some go raiding. Xenophon turns down the generalship of the whole army. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brian-wilson5/support

#024 Reconstituting the Ekklēsia in a Post Mars Hill World Following a recommendation of a close friend, I begin listening to the Christianity Today podcast, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill; hosted by Mike Cosper. On the one hand it is an extremely well-produced and executed program regarding the cost/benefit analysis of a rocket ride that manifested mega-church size and celebrity fame of Seattle's Mars Hill Church pastor Mark Driscoll. On the other hand, as a believer, it is very disheartening and at times disturbing to listen without thinking I've been led into the Roman Colosseum to watch Christians being mauled by wild lions, tigers, bears, and dogs. Images of St. Augustine's friend Alypius fill my mind now even when writing this (see St. Augustine's Confessions, Book VI, chapter 8). On Way of the Bible podcast Episode #024 | A Walk of the Beach with DrZ, I consider life in the Messianic kingdom to come as a model of how life as a believer in the world today is supposed to look. And when believers gather together to pray and worship it is the church (i.e. ekklēsia). (Note: From the very beginning of the church, it has never been perfect and needs constant oversight and care. And once turned by human will toward the world very difficult to turn back). The church, according to the Bible, is not a building or even a gathering of people in a building. The church is the gathering of the body of Christ (i.e. individuals in whom Christ dwells) for the purpose of prayer and worship. And when gathered (two or more) Jesus is there amongst His body ready and able to minister, guide, supply, and address concerns of the body.Things to consider in a world being turned upside down. Especially knowing God is allowing this turning to accomplish His purposes in the world. Enjoy and share the listen… DrZ

Book VI contains three stories of horrific violence, each somehow more horrific than the last. First, the goddess Athena beats Arachne almost to death with a weaving tool, then transforms her into a spider. Them, Niobe's 14 children are systemically murdered by Apollo and Artemis. Finally, most horribly of all, Tereus rapes and mutilates Philomela, sister to his wife Procne; whereupon Procne murders their son and feeds him to his father Tereus in a stew. As unpleasent as these stories are, they were all common tales in the world of Greek mythology. How does Ovid use them? By bringing out the sheer absurdity of the violence, and by dwelling with some of the psychological forces at play, how are the stories changed? In some sense, does the violence work to sever the story from it's traditional, banal meaning (i.e mortals shouldn't compete with gods)? Could there be a satisfying conclusion to a story like Philomela's, in a world where everything is transformed and nothing lasts? Could there be one in any world? What is the purpose or meaning of piety and devotion in a world where the gods are capable of such savagery? Does Ovid hate nature? Does he see nothing but decay and death, wherever he looks? It may sound bleak, but it's actually one of our most fascinating episodes yet. If you don't want Athena to pluck out your eyes and turn you into a bedbug, then you had better listen up.

On this week's episode we discuss Aeneas' trip to the Dis, the underworld of Roman mythology. There seems to be something a bit obligatory about this trip. Like hosting funeral games, burying fallen warriors, and battling enemy champions, traveling to the underworld is just something epic heroes do in their poems. We consider again in what ways Aeneas is and is not like other epic heroes. Like his trip to the underworld, his position at the center of Vergil's epic feels a bit obligatory. He does not stand apart from the crowd in the manner of Achilles. Aeneas is imitable, in ways that Odysseus and Achilles are not. Is this of the nature of his heroism? While in Dis, Aeneas and his father Anchises discuss the future, which leads Anchises to offer another long prophecy of Roman greatness and Roman triumph, culminating in world-dominion under Augustus. However, some strange details cause us to consider to just what degree Vergil intends this prophecy to be taken as an absolute and final pronouncement. For instance, it is possible to construe Apollo's prophecy that all Aeneas' soldiers will reach Italy safely as false (Palinurus, seduced by the god Sleep, falls overboard). Even more strangely, when Aeneas returns to the Earth, he exits the underworld not by the gate of true dreams, but through the gate of false dreams. Very odd indeed. What might these textual mysteries say about Vergil's relationship to the glory of Rome and Augustus, a glory which his poem is meant to celebrate?

A lot of people are happy to note that virtue is lacking in our society, and we have a lot of work to do if we want a virtuous society. But, I hear only a few voices offering a solution to this problem. Only a few people are calling people to act virtuously and live a life of virtue. The Vital Masculinity podcast is doing great work to promote that, but sadly not many others are. Not many people are answering the basic questions like "What is virtue?" or "How do I become a virtuous person?" What is Virtue According to Aristotle? Aristotle defines the mean as the proper way of being between two extremes in great detail in his Nicomachean Ethics. Virtue, according to Aristotle, and many Greek philosophers, is an excellence in morality. Here's what Aristotle has to say about excellence: "Excellence, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean, relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it." -Aristotle How to Be a Virtuous Person If you want to be a virtuous person, you should learn to seek the Golden Mean. But, how do you do that? Well, it's not easy, but it can be done if you are ready to learn and put in the work. In this book, Aristotle explains that you have to do what is proper to the situation. That requires knowing what the situation is, and it means you have to know how to respond. This takes Practical Wisdom, which you can learn more about here. "Regarding practical wisdom we shall get at the truth by considering who are the persons we credit with it. Now it is thought to be the mark of a man of practical wisdom to be able to deliberate well about what is good and expedient for himself, not in some particular respect, e.g., about what sorts of things conduce to health or to strength, but about what sorts of thing conduce to the good life in general." -Aristotle, Book VI of the Nichomachean Ethics --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/conofourgen/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conofourgen/support
