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.

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. Augustine also discusses how God knows past and future events, namely as being in eternity 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 Purchase 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 10 of the type of temptation that is called "the pride of life", or (due to an alternate translation from the Latin Vulgate) the "ambition of the world". This has to do with our desire to feared or loved by others, to set ourselves above others, and wanting others to acknowledge our superiority.

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 10 of the temptations involved in the "concupiscence of the eyes", namely our tendency to take delight or interest in the things that we see with this sense, and the drive of curiosity, the desire to know things that are really not our concern or our business .

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 of his friend Alypius in book 8, who was from Augustine's home town of Thagaste, attended Augustine's lectures, where he heard Augustine touch upon a moral failing of his, namely his strong interest in the circus spectacles. Alypius would along with Augustine make progress towards an eventual conversion to Christianity, and is there in the garden when Augustine has his famous experience when struggling with committing himself.

“Der Gütige ist frei, auch wenn er ein Sklave ist. Der Böse ist ein Sklave, auch wenn er ein König ist.” Augustinus von Hippo Augustinus von Hippo (354–430 n. Chr.) war ein einflussreicher christlicher Theologe und Philosoph der Spätantike. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Kirchenväter des Christentums und hatte großen Einfluss auf die christliche Theologie, insbesondere auf die katholische und protestantische Lehre. Leben Geboren in Thagaste (heutiges Algerien) Wurde zunächst Rhetoriklehrer und beschäftigte sich intensiv mit der Philosophie, insbesondere mit Platonismus und Manichäismus 386 bekehrte er sich zum Christentum und ließ sich 387 von Bischof Ambrosius in Mailand taufen Wurde 395 Bischof von Hippo Regius (heutiges Annaba in Algerien) Starb 430 während der Belagerung von Hippo durch die Vandalen Wichtige Werke Confessiones („Bekenntnisse“): Autobiographisches Werk über seine spirituelle Entwicklung und Bekehrung De civitate Dei („Vom Gottesstaat“): Eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Rolle des Christentums in der Weltgeschichte De Trinitate („Über die Dreifaltigkeit“): Eine theologische Abhandlung über die Natur Gottes Bedeutung Augustinus prägte zentrale christliche Lehren, darunter die Erbsündenlehre und die Gnadenlehre.

Seine Ideen zur Willensfreiheit, zur Zeit und zur Seele sind bis heute in der Philosophie relevant. Fragen? Schreib an: frankbosshart@gmail.com

181 Happy Hippo Podcast - Epstein Files by Happy Hippo

Welcome back Pauper fam! This week Cameron leads us into a Magic game-theory discussion centered around the classic article "Who's The Beatdown" by Mike Flores. For an article that's over 25 years old it's amazing how relevant these concepts are in modern Magic and especially in Pauper. Then he conversation gets derailed by the inevitable opinions about the Spider-Man spoilers that have begun to surface. Let's hope this doesn't take away the spotlight from how many sweet Edge of Eternities cards are going to see play in our format! Tune into our Common Ground Cup stream on Saturday to see if EOE makes a big splash and to find out who will take the 2nd trophy home!

This week's Star 99.9 Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week is Peppa. Also lovingly nicknamed “Peppa Pig” by her fans. She's a short-legged, snuggle-loving house hippo who's just as happy curled up on the couch as she is going for a brisk walk around the block. Peppa is a sweet, adult pup with stellar leash skills, solid house manners, and a serious affection for stuffed toys.  She's looking for a home where she can be the only pet, with dog-savvy humans (12+ please!) who appreciate a good couch cuddle after a play session. Peppa does have a few special needs (some allergies), but with the right care, she's ready to give tons of love. If you're ready to meet your new best snuggle buddy, call 1-800-452-0114 or stop by the Connecticut Humane Society daily between 12:00pm–4:30pm and chat with an adoption counselor!

Trey Herweck, pastor at Refuge Church in St. Charles, MO, joins me to talk about living in Interesting Times. We are using the most recent article from The Embassy as our jumping off point. Here is an excerpt:ViewAlthough it is often mislabeled as a Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times” is of English origin. It appears in British diplomatic circles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While there is no equivalent Chinese saying, they (at least according to Wikipedia) do have this: “Better to be a dog in times of tranquility than a human in times of chaos”, which is a bit more, well, interesting. At any rate, we live in interesting times, and we understand the impulse to call that a curse. Our times are in turns unpredictable (except when they are all too predictable), anxiety provoking, polarizing, angry, fearful, dark, and at times, violent. It is the last one that is catching us, or most of us, by surprise. This violence seems increasingly to be cast as a moral response to this broken state of affairs.The murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare, on December 4th of last year is perhaps the most prominent recent example of an act of violence which was justified by some as a moral act. After his arrest for the murder, Luigi Mangione's manifesto was discovered whichindicated that he saw the killing as a direct challenge to the health care industry's “corruption” and “power games.”“Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming,” the document read.NYT - December 20, 2024Based on the reaction to his arrest, many people, many of these being younger people, agreed - this was, to them, a moral act, an attempt to change the world for the better, ending the corruption of the health care industry.Ending the corruption in government was the stated motivation for the man who beat the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a hammer after breaking into their San Francisco home in 2022. He intended to hold the Speaker hostage to extract government changes. A similar motivation was behind the group that plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Authorities claimed they hoped to start a civil war to bring down a corrupt government. While no motive has been identified after shots were fired into the Democratic National Committee office in Arizona last fall, a fire set in the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters in March of this year was in response to immigration enforcement.Shortly after a dinner with dozens of friends celebrating the beginning of Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and family narrowly escaped the fire destroying their home. The man who has admitted setting the fire cited the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.A similar motivation was at the heart of the killings of two members of the Israeli Embassy staff in Washington D.C in May and of the man who used fire to injure and kill at a Boulder, Colorado march in support of the Israeli hostages in Gaza.On a different note, Ziz LaSota believes that the threat of artificial intelligence is sufficient to justify violence.She wrote favorably of violence, said she was willing to sacrifice everything to achieve her goals and considered A.I.'s threat to humanity “the most important problem in the world,” she once wrote. Now six people are dead, landing her and several friends and allies, known as the “Zizians,” in jail, awaiting trial.New York Times - July 6, 2025And, of course, two different people on two separate occasions, citing the danger to democracy, attempted to assassinate President Trump.Certainly, there is corruption in health care and government. Many of us are troubled by the at turns absent, then uneven, capricious, and perhaps lawless enforcement of immigration laws. The plight of the Palestinians in Gaza is grievous. It may be true that artificial intelligence poses a threat to humanity. Much of our world is broken. Does this justify violence, specifically lawless violence, in response? And what positive impact does any of this violence have? Far from being a moral statement, lawless violence lacks moral standing, and therefore undermines the cause in the eyes of almost everyone who is not already a true believer. I can't think of any case where violence caused positive change in any democratic society in my lifetime. It tends to alienate those not already onboard, and shows itself to be part of a statement about the person committing violence more than it is about the injustice of the world. I have mentioned before there were more than 2500 anti-war, anti-government bombings in our country during an 18-month period spanning 1971 and 1972. That is about five per day. Those who are old enough to remember it were not surprised that Richard Nixon was re-elected as President in 1972, winning over 60% of the popular vote and 49 states. This violence for a purpose just does not get you to the purpose. It also identifies the brokenness of the world we live in as something unique to our age instead of something common to all ages. This common brokenness is something we are called to engage and redeem, and that won't happen by way of violence. We live in a society of political freedom and, therefore, political responsibility. Far from fulfilling this responsibility, these acts of violence are an abdication from it.Bad times, hard times - this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: such as we are, such are the times.Augustine of Hippo, ~ 400 A.D.Read the whole article here.The Embassy is a reader-supported publication.

Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security. LAYOFFS As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday. The fiscal year started on Tuesday. These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier. 9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May). 10 percent of King being laid off. Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing. It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next! Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds. 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically. Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023. Windows 11 Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2 24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more. Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page. AI Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac. Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence. After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike. Xbox and Gaming Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years. Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio. New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time. Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes". Tips and Picks Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy. The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge. The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative. Software? It's all free. Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time. Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too. Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys. Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).

Welcome back Pauper fam! We were so pumped from NRG Indy that we couldn't wait to get home before recording this week's episode!

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE), a prominent theologian, philosopher, and bishop in Roman North Africa, profoundly influenced Western Christianity and philosophy. Known for works like Confessions, The City of God, and On Christian Doctrine, he developed doctrines on original sin, grace, just war, and ecclesiology. His thoughts shaped medieval theology, inspired Protestant Reformers, and continue to impact Christian teachings.

Besides being a great saint, Augustine was a great preacher, writer, and thinker, whose influence on the Church has been incalculable. Kevin and Scott cover all things Augustinian in this wide-ranging episode, which takes them from the fourth-century Roman Empire to the twenty-first century papacy.

Welcome back Pauper fam! This is it. The narrative climax you've all been waiting for. Hippo shares his complete and utter disdain for High Tide and what its implications are for the play experience of our format. Cameron also shares some more experience with Naya Gates from our recent Team Trios event and Thomas wants to remind you all that the Commons At The Capitol $2k Pauper tournament with NRG is this Sunday at Noon in Indianapolis!

To wrap up our deep dive into the existence of God, in this episode we take a look at the life of St Augustine. St. Augustine is a doctor of the church, and one of the greatest saints in the history of Christianity. But before his conversion, he spent his youth struggling with sin, heresy, vanity, and lust. He was the product of a culture that celebrated male sexual exploits as a sign of status and masculinity, and he felt that happiness was not possible for him without the freedom to satisfy his sexual appetites. Although he was gifted and educated, and sincerely sought the Truth, Augustine's attachment to sin got in the way of a personal relationship with God. It took many years, and a lot of prayers and support from his mother and his friends, before he was able to reconcile himself to the Christian faith. Augustine struggled with many of the questions that people grapple with today: if God exists, why is there evil in the world? How can God say he loves us when he makes us suffer? Is chastity compatible with happiness?Although Augustine lived 1600 years ago, his story is strikingly modern. His life demonstrates to us that God can always work miracles, and that it is never too late to turn back to him. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Romans Chapter 13The Confessions of St AugustineBishop Barron, "A Life of Heroic Sanctity: Augustine of Hippo"The Catholic Encyclopedia, "St Augustine"The Catholic Encyclopedia, "St Monica"

Before we dive headfirst into Martin Luther we spend a little time talking about a few of his predecessors. We discuss the impact that Augustine of Hippo (354-430), John Wycliffe (1328-1384), and Jan Huss (1369-1415) had on Christian thought. We also discuss the merits of throwing people out of windows as a solution to your problems.  Subscribe to our free newsletter⁠ - ⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com/⁠ Please visit our website at ⁠www.standardoftruth.com⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com
