Playing with Fables: a Conversation with Huub Brouwer

We often do not realize that deep down economics is a battleground of competing anthropologies: implicit or explicit theories of human nature, selfhood and subjectivity, quiet beliefs about how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. In this podcast we bring together researchers from different disciplines that study economic phenomena, systems, agency and behavior, ranging from historians and political philosophers to economic anthropologists and development economists, to scrutinize the protagonist of their discipline: who is the Real Homo Economicus? What kinds of creature are they? What drives their choices and behavior? Are we still talking about the same creature? To get the conversation started we use an experimental method: the Mythlab method. We use stories as a probe into economic thinking and quiet beliefs about the underlying anthropologies. In each episode we give our guest a story and see how they respond to it, and explore assumptions and associations in a playful way. In this fourth and final episode we play with fables, short moralistic tales, often featuring animals, but always addressing a deeper human truth. We talk about The Dog and the Piece of Meat, The Wolf and the Crane, The Hawk and the Nightingale, The Hen with the Golden Eggs, The Cricket and the Ant. What is the moral of these stories? What can animal stories tell us about human nature? And what kind of world is the world of the fable? I try to make sense of these fables with Huub Brouwer. Dr. Huub Brouwer is assistant professor of ethics and political philosophy at Tilburg University. His research is on theories of distributive justice, particularly on desert, responsibility-sensitive egalitarianism, and taxation. Huub is currently carrying out a 4-year research project on philosophy of taxation, funded by the Netherlands Research Council.

One of Plato's major contributions in his work The Republic and the Phaedrus  is his concept of the tripartite division of the soul. In this video, I analyse what Plato meant with the tripartite division of the soul and also its implications and impact in later philosophy, most notably its connections with Freud's concept of the id, ego and superego, as well as its implications in our modern lives. Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

Supposedly an enslaved man from sixth-century Samos, Aesop might not have ever really existed, but the fables attributed to him remain some of the most widely read examples of classical literature. A fascinating window into the ‘low' culture of ancient Greece, the Fables and the figure of Aesop appear in the work of authors as diverse as Aristophanes, Plato and Phaedrus, serving new purposes in new contexts.

The art of reading must be learned and then practiced on a daily basis. Socrates the philosopher had a complicated relationship with the written word. He neither fully dismissed its value nor embraced it. Instead, he was worried that writing things down (and reading them) would weaken your memory. In Plato's “Phaedrus”, he describes the conversation between Socrates and Phaedrus. It's a fascinating read because Socrates uses an ancient Egyptian myth to point out that we will use writing, not as a tool for learning, but a tool for forgetting.Why remember if you can write something down, right? The most relevant passage from that dialogue is: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."It underscores the idea that reading in itself isn't enough. You need to internalize, reflect on, and truly understand the content for it to be of genuine value. That's why, in this week's podcast episode, we're talking about how to read like a philosopher. How does one approach the reading experience so that it's not superficial?

Introduction: Guest: Fritz Hinrichs, an experienced educator (check out his website) who has brought the teachings of great books to homeschooled kids for 30 years. He was also one of the early educators of Francis and recently joined Invisible as an advisor. Key Discussion Points: Examination of Plato's Phaedrus: Discussed Plato's transition from a playwright to a philosopher, drawn in by Socrates' philosophy. Analyzed various aspects of Plato's dialogue "Phaedrus," from the beginning that deals with love to the unity of theme and logical progression of ideas. Discussed Plato's ideas on writing and conversation, placing higher value on the act of 'writing on souls' (dialogue) over 'writing on paper'. Introduced the idea of a 'divine madness' from Plato's Phaedrus, wherein love is seen as giving wings and being close to the love of God. Discussion on Technology and Human Interaction: Touched on the evolution of technology, drawing a contrast between a friend who loves technology and Fritz's preference for a life firmly rooted to the earth, similar to a hobbit hole. Discussed the challenges of not having a physical campus at Invisible and how to maintain the value of face-to-face conversation and closeness in the age of virtual meetings. Great Books Program and Reading Habits: Spoke about the importance of discussing different perspectives on important issues and understanding how people see life differently. Talked about the Great Books Program that begins with children aged 12-14, emphasizing on the importance of varied reading to avoid falling into 'reading ruts'. Introduced the concept of 'thinking radically' and the importance of investigating the meaning of words. Technology and Humanity: Questioned the role of machine intelligence and its comparison to human intelligence, citing the example of ChatGPT writing a poem in Shakespearean form. Explored how technology like AI can be seen as a tool to aid humans rather than replace them, drawing parallels with the use of calculators. Work, Leisure, and Purpose: Looked at the relationship between work and leisure through the perspectives of different philosophers and religious beliefs. Discussed the importance of doing good work, ordering our work life so that the concept of retirement becomes obsolete, and understanding the purpose of work from a Christian perspective. Role of Reason and Power: Explored the role of reason and its limits, drawing upon the cautionary tale of the Tower of Babel where human beings tried to become gods. Discussed the importance of understanding what a good life looks like and our relationship to a potential higher power.

In the Phaedrus, Plato wrote about writing that, “it will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories, they will trust to external written characters and not remember of themselves.” It seems almost beyond believing that as we worry about technologies such as artificial intelligence and smart phones, Plato considered and rejected the new technology of writing things down on paper. It's evidence that for millennia, we humans have been inventing new things and debating about whether or not they are or are not useful—or even safe. At the 2023 Wyoming School of Catholic Thought, the college's adult week, Dr. Pavlos Papadopoulos gave us this introduction to our readings from Sophocles, Plato, Aristotle, and Plutarch.

Of the twenty-two figures that make up the major arcana of the tarot, the Chariot is probably the most commonplace. While the tenth arcanum is a wheel, it's The Wheel of Fortune, not just any old wagon wheel. But arcanum VII is neither the Chariot of Fire or the Chariot of the Gods – just the plain old chariot. Usually, it is interpreted as a symbol of the will in its lower and higher aspects. In this episode, Phil notes that the Chariot can also symbolize something as ordinary as new car. Of course, here on Weird Studies, no car is just a car, and we like to think that Youngblood Priest, the protagonist of the 1972 film Super Fly, would agree. A car also a tool, a medium, a token of mastery, an atmospheric disturbance, a means of manifestation, a spaceship...

THE STORY OF O AND EMany writers and film makers have gone back to Virgil's classic for inspiration over the decades: Tennessee Williams with Orpheus Descending (1957); Marcel Camus' timeless film,  Black Orpheus (1959) is a Brazilian Carnavale take,  Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice is a theatrical staple, and more recently, the Broadway hit, Hadestown.My offering was composed in the early months  of the pandemic, and still retains the urgency of those days. Here are the first 3 songs/episodes, with my spoken introductions. EP 1: OBSESSION - sets the neurotic scene.EP 2: GET OUT! - O fantasizes an escape from the city.EP 3: CHOP WOOD, CARRY WATER - Ensconced upstate, O takes some bucolic counsel.for more reading on the original tale... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus_and_EurydiceIn Virgil's classic version of the legend, it completes his Georgics, a poem on the subject of agriculture. Here the name of Aristaeus, or Aristaios, the keeper of bees, and the tragic conclusion was first introduced.[2]Ovid's version of the myth, in his Metamorphoses, was published a few decades later and employs a different poetic emphasis and purpose. It relates that Eurydice's death was not caused by fleeing from Aristaeus, but by dancing with naiads on her wedding day.Other ancient writers treated Orpheus's visit to the underworld more negatively. According to Phaedrus in Plato's Symposium,[3] the infernal deities only "presented an apparition" of Eurydice to him. Plato's representation of Orpheus is in fact that of a coward; instead of choosing to die in order to be with his love, he mocked the deities in an attempt to visit Hades, to get her back alive. As his love was not "true"—meaning that he was not willing to die for it—he was punished by the deities, first by giving him only the apparition of his former wife in the underworld and then by having him killed by women.[3]
