This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. In the political philosophy series, the next book that we read is E. F. Schumacher's A Guide for the Perplexed. This book comes near the end of the course as a summary and insight into the whole nature of philosophy and political philosophy. It is a short, remarkable book, to be read carefully. For over 35 years, Fr. James Schall taught Political Philosophy at Georgetown University, where he was legendary among generations of students. If you want an experience of what those students enjoyed, this course is the place to begin. Fr. Schall starts with Aristotle's Ethics and Politics and then, with wisdom and wit, guides his listeners through the thought of the great Roman statesman Cicero, the French Catholic philosopher Yves Simon, the Old and New Testaments, the political thought of St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas on Law, Machiavelli, politics in the plays of Shakespeare, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Nietzsche, and finally, Plato's masterwork, the Republic. It is a historical and intellectual tour de force in 60 lectures. What generations of students had to pay thousands of dollars in tuition to hear, you can now have in recorded lectures to listen to over and over again. In preserving the lectures of Fr. Schall, we at the Catholic International University feel that we are fulfilling the mission set by our founder Ralph McInerny: to make the best Catholic lectures available as widely as possible to the public.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how we respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. Chapter 12 is on friendship.

In de meer dan honderd gesprekken die wij tot nog toe voerden, passeerde het onderwijs niet zelden de revue. Vaak als magische oplossing: De plek waar een extra vak, een extra lesuur, een ander soort leerkracht, gebouw of methode het verschil zou maken. En zo de kiem zou worden van een ander soort wereld. Hoe realistisch is die goed bedoelde droom? Philip Brinckman beantwoordt de vraag. Welbespraakt, gedreven en genuanceerd. Maar stellig. Met als mentale munitie zijn decennialange ervaring op wat de beste school van ons land genoemd wordt en de stapels literatuur die hij 's avonds, verblijvend in het appartement van 'zijn' internaat, verslonden heeft. Een dijk van een gesprek. Voor jullie. Lees hier meer over het gesprek: https://zwijgenisgeenoptie.be/philip-brinckman Schrijf je in voor onze nieuwsbrief: https://zwijgenisgeenoptie.be/nieuwsbrief/ Steun ons: https://zwijgenisgeenoptie.be/mecenaat/ Hoofdstukken Hoofdstuk 1: Plus est en vous Philip verzet zich tegen de beleveniseconomie die zegt dat alles leuk moet zijn en daarbij vergeet dat er meer in ons zit. Onderwijs moet dat in ons naar boven halen, zoals een game dat altijd net iets moeilijk wordt, waardoor je steeds je grenzen verlegt. Hoofdstuk 2: Kameel, Leeuw & Kind Philip vat Nietzsche samen: Kinderen moet leren als kamelen in een spoor lopen, vervolgens moeten ze leeuwen worden en zich verzetten tegen de regels, weg van het spoor hun eigen weg kiezen. Enkel dan kunnen ze Kind (met hoofdletter) worden en dankbaar en vol verwondering in het leven staan. Volgens Philip willen we vandaag de kameelfase te vaak overslaan. Hoofdstuk 3: De retoriek van het opklimmen De markt is het onderwijs binnen gedrongen en zorgt ervoor dat er waarde (lees: economische waarde) wordt gegeven aan richtingen. Het onderwijs is het slachtoffer van de problemen van de maatschappij maar wordt wel verondersteld al die maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Hoofdstuk 4: De taak van het onderwijs Philip gelooft in het onderwijsmodel van Gert Biesta met de 3 pijlers: kwalificatie, cultuur en persoonlijke ontwikkeling. Die 3 pijlers moeten elkaar in evenwicht houden en nu is dat niet zo. Hoofdstuk 5: Mensen een plaats geven Philip zoomt nog meer uit naar de alleroudste functie van het onderwijs: mensen een plaats geven in het culturele verhaal dat verteld wordt. Religie deed dat, maar met de secularisering is er ook iets wezenlijk verdwenen. Hoofdstuk 6: 7x8=54 Philip verzet zich hevig tegen het zelfactiverend leren waarbij de leraar een facilitator/coach is die zichzelf moet wegcijferen en alles uit het kind zelf moet laten komen. Daar tegenover staat de leraar die weet wat hij de kinderen wil leren en ze zo efficiënt mogelijk daar waar hij ze wil krijgen brengt. Hoofdstuk 7: Het afstootplankje Philip heeft het over wat een leraar goed maakt. Een goede leraar is als een afstootplankje bij het verspringen, iemand waartegen je je kan afzetten om verder te springen. Dat is een moeilijk meetbaar iets, het gaat voornamelijk over passie en talent.
In this brief episode, I reflect on the connection between suffering and a deeper form of happiness.

I have always wanted to discuss Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and how it relates to technology and transhumanism. The problem is that a very short list of people will make me enjoy such a challenging conversation. Luckily, Dr. Cadell Last is among the top on that shortlist. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as […]
How to Become More Manly If you're a man, it seems wise to strive to become more manly. But what does this mean? To past philosophers, they called it becoming more “virtuous” (virtus meaning “man”.) But funny enough, nowadays it seems that the trend is to strive towards manliness is not really a desired goal. We are trying to teach men that masculinity is “toxic“, and that instead of striving to become more manly, or masculine, we should strive to become more “compassionate“, empathetic, “inclusive“, etc. Ultimately it comes to a philosophical code of ethics. What is philosophy? The closest answer that Nietzsche came up with is the philosopher as a legislator, or a law maker of the future. In more practical terms, I see a philosopher as somebody who tells others what they “should“ do. Also what they “should not“ to do. The tricky thing is that nobody wants to be told what to do, at least upfront. It does seem to take more energy to think for yourself. The teacher as philosopher-educator What is the teacher anyways? Partly an educator of basic concepts, but teachers are also philosophers, who shape the minds of children. It seems that in today's modern society, because a lot of the parents are always working, the teachers end up having the moral responsibility of teaching kids ethics, and a code of conduct. For example, I was born in 1988. As a kid growing up, I was taught notions of diversity, equality, open mindedness, critical thinking, the value of being unique, and different. For the most part, I actually really liked this. I'm quite happy the way I turned out. But certainly as one becomes an adult, one should start to question the codes of ethics one was raised with, and to decide to start thinking for oneself. And to start living for oneself. Why don't I really know any women interested in philosophy? Cindy is probably the first woman I have ever met in my life, who was actually interested in philosophy and the meaning of life. However the big word philosophy is not thrown around. It is more about adventuring, questioning the status quo, and dreaming big. In actuality, in today's world, nobody really talks about philosophy. It is not something that one questions. So two things: first of all, maybe it is a sociological thing: society does not care for women to question the status quo and society, they would prefer women to be the child readers, give birth to children, do domestic chores, etc. But also on the other hand, society doesn't really want men to be philosophers either. Philosophers are pretty much disobedient, unproductive folks, who refuse to be told what to do. If you think about past philosophers like Diogenes, they were kind of annoying nomadic homeless people, who would say pithy things, and just be a little bit annoying to everybody. Also, it does seem that in order to become philosophical, or truly philosophical, there are a lot of things that one cannot have in life: a standard 9-to-5 job, dependence on money, etc. For myself, I was only able to start really thinking philosophically once I left America, and started to live abroad in Vietnam, where I realized: I will never run out of money. If anything, a philosopher is actually the highest rank in society. A philosopher doesn't actually need to base their opinion on first principles, they could simply state what they believe in, without having to call anybody else. It seems that the bias in today's society is that he who is richest has the highest rank. Modern society in America valorizes really really rich people, really really rich business people, and really really rich entr
Welcome back for another episode of Nick's Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! In this masterpiece of philosophical literature Friedrich Nietzsche utters the famous phrase "God is dead!" This powerful book spells out Nietzsche's belief in the will to power, and serves as an introduction to his doctrine of eternal return. Written in a passionate, quasi-biblical style, Thus Spake Zarathustra is daring in form and filled with provocative, thought-provoking concepts. Today, the work is regarded as a forerunner of modern existentialist thought, a book that has provoked and stimulated students of philosophy and literature for more than 100 years.

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself.

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. Chapter 10 begins the last series of chapters which, in contrast to earlier chapters, arise out of man's nature and not from some Fall or fault. Science, technology, and law are all good things. They can be abused, but as such are proper manifestations of what it is to be a human being. Chapter 10 is devoted to the relation of science and political philosophy. For over 35 years, Fr.

We take a look at The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche. One of Nietzsche's earliest works, The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a remarkable source of inspiration. It is here that the philosopher expresses his frustration with the contemporary world and urges man to embrace Dionysian energy once more. He refutes European culture since the time of Socrates, arguing that it is one-sidedly Apollonian and prevents man from living in optimistic harmony with the sufferings of life.

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. Chapter 8 is a consideration of the relation between the philosophic notion of happiness and the revelational notion of salvation. Happiness can be understood in a practical or political sense and in a theoretic sense. But both senses leave us perplexed even in their fullness. Salvation is directed to each individual in his particular circumstances of life. For over 35 years, Fr.

Jochen Schukte-Sasse's Foreword to Sloterdijk's 'Thinker On Stage.'
This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. Chapter 7 looks at the deaths of Socrates and Christ as key events that bring reason and revelation together in the light of political philosophy. The remarkable parallels of these two trials is occasion for seeing how politics is both limited and transcended by philosophy and revelation." For over 35 years, Fr.

Much had been made of Nietzsche's predictions of the coming nihilism. As a result of the death of the Christian God, Europe is bound for a crisis of values, in which nothing can any longer give us a goal beyond ourselves and our own happiness, and people search for this meaning or justification in all sorts of other spheres of human life: morality, reason, history, and utility. Ultimately, however, since we have so thoroughly devalued the physical world of experience, we find no such meaningful answer to the problem of life. That we have devalued life in order to justify life was a masterstroke of Christianity, so long as we had a transcendent authority to look to: a higher sphere to justify the material sphere. But now, we are left only with the burdens, the curse on existence, the “in vain”. As the will cannot aim at nothing, the ultimate consequence is the pursuit of happiness for the greatest number. Rather than this passive, incomplete nihilism, Nietzsche dreams of an active nihilism, and a strength of will to cut through the meaninglessness into a true revaluation. Come explore the meaning, causes and consequences of nihilism with me! Episode art: Gustave Dore - Satan's Fall to Earth

In the second episode, Coyle and Swensen trace the evolution of thought from the Enlightenment period (1685-1815) through the Romantic era (1800-1850) and Nietzsche's lifetime (1844-1900) and lastly on to the Modernist era (1900-1940) by focusing on a number of key transatlantic figures.

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. "Modernity in its autonomous sense sought to eliminate the question of God by solving the question of politics.

Jim, Matt, David, Janice, Rob, Ray, and Paul discuss how Anselm's shift to rationalism changed the register of theological discussion to abstractions surrounding identity (Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche) which develop in modernity, giving rise to the delusion of a self-grounding reason and identity; the false notion Christ defeats.
