VIRTU
virtue-begins-at-home-through
How do we teach our children virtue? This issue was being discussed in a similar context back as far as the Enlightenment by thinkers like Locke and Rousseau.
Rousseau thought that a parent's primary role is to be a buffer between their child and culture, rather than simply being an agent of the dominant culture. Rousseau described the insular and affectionate family that educated its own children as “the best counterpoison for bad morals.”
One way to do this is to create an intentional family culture based on our specific moral values, that will act as a counterweight to the negative aspects of the culture that we find ourselves in.
Brendan Malone, a father of 5, gives wonderful tips on how to teach and model virtue to our children at home.

BEAUT
beauty-in-philosophy,-ethics,-and-art-a
In this engaging conversation, David Fideler and I delve into the rich history of ancient Greek philosophy to explore the concept of beauty as an objective quality of nature.
We discuss the ideas of Pythagoras, Plato, and the Stoics, and the ideas they held about beauty. In this highly illustrated video, we also explore the importance of harmony and proportion in nature and art, and how they were used to enhance beauty in ancient architecture and Renaissance paintings.
The conversation also touches on the connections between beauty, truth, and goodness, and the timeless wisdom of ancient philosophy that can still inspire us today.

THE B
the-best-philosophy-books-for-beginners
Which philosophical texts are most studied, enjoyed, hated, found incomprehensible, thought brilliant, and everything in between? Dr. Greg Sadler draws on his teaching career and extensive background to recommend the 10 best philosophy books for beginners: http://www.commonsenseethics.com/blog/the-10-best-philosophy-books-for-beginners
We discuss:
-Which thinkers are average people most interested in?
-The practical philosophy movement and popular philosophies like modern Stoicism and Aristotelianism that are currently being applied in people's lives.
-Philosophy's relevance: the disconnect between academic versus applied philosophy, poor outreach among academic philosophers and the public.
-Women philosophers - Greg's love of Mary Wollstonecraft, and why some people argue that Aynd Rand is not a philosopher.
-Avoiding agenda-driven histories of philosophy and the importance of reading primary texts.
-Poor pedagogy in introduction to philosophy classes - the difficulty of teaching, good versus bad teachers.
-Existentialism: reading books of philosophy as a teenager and then again as an adult. What appeals to people?
-Interesting tidbits about Anselm's On the Fall of the Devil and many other books.

IS HO
is-honest-journalism-dead
Why is there such lack of professionalism and ethics in journalism in recent years? Brendan Malone of Left Foot Media and I discuss the many problems with contemporary journalism and what can be done about them.
To be clear, there are some excellent journalists who try to adhear to time-honored standards of objectivity still doing great investigative work. However we focus on the general negative trends that we see occurring in media - bias, clickbait, dishonesty, illiberal cancel culture, and lack of humility, backed up by references to hard data where possible.

HOW T
how-to-do-socratic-dialog-what-is
Socratic Dialog (also called the Socratic Method) is a way of working together to discover the truth and test whether your ideas or opinions are sound. The Socratic Method is also a way of thinking which helps you to become more open-minded and less afraid of being wrong.
In this video my guest, Max Maxwell, explains Socratic Dialog and demonstrates how to engage in Socratic conversations with an open mind as we discuss justice and the purpose of government.
The Socratic Method is especially important today since political discussions are often so polarized, and people tend to act in a less than charitable way when discussing issues that they disagree on.

PAREN
parenting-without-stress
Parenting is stressful. For many parents, who are always busy, usually tired, and probably not trained in dealing with children, the words “tranquility” and “parenting” do not go together. Don’t you just wish there was some technique out there that could help you become calm, content, and confident parent? Something that you could have on hand all the time to help you through your most challenging situations and stressful days?
Tranquility Parenting, a just released book by Brittany Polat, offers lots of practical help and straightforward ways to overcome parenting challenges by implementing principles from Stoic philosophy within the family. I interview Brittany about the book and how to implement the techniques here.

FEARL
fearless-parent-raising-kids-using-stoic
Wondering how to be less stressed as a parent? Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches us how to focus on what we can control in life. Leah Goldrick of http://www.commonsenseethics.com and Brittany Polat of http://www.apparentstoic.com discuss how to apply Stoic philosophy to parenting and how it can make both parents and kids happier.
We discuss:
-Overcoming worry and parenting anxiety. Not worrying about what other people think of how you raise your children.
-US culture being oriented towards adult lifestyles and careers and not very child friendly.
-Thinking that you can control everything and being goal oriented does not work with kids because while you can influence them, you can't control what they do.
-You will be happier as a parent/family if you focus on what you can control - the environment, how you respond, getting prepared in advance, etc.
-The Golden Rule and other ways to teach kids the value of kindness.

OVERC
overcoming-injury,-illness,-and-the-fear
I welcome Jonas Salzgeber, author of The Little Book of Stoicism, back to the channel for a Stoic dialog on matters of ultimate importance: injury, illness, coming to terms with mortality, fear, and irrational beliefs that result when fear overcomes reason.
We discuss the shortness of life, memento mori, facing fear, and the proper psychological perspective necessary to flourish and be more courageous during uncertain times.
We also discuss a Stoic response to the covid-19 pandemic, reasonable caution, and not doing irrational or discriminatory things because of fear of death.

THE E
the-ethics-of-sex-and-guns-an-interview
In this provocative discussion, I interview philosopher Dan Demetriou about his work on sexual ethics and self-defense.
We discuss societal trends which are leading to Dan's (Gen Y) students having less sex than prior generations and being more sexually unhappy on the whole. Dan discusses statistics indicating a that high percent of young men today are sexless, why people are dating or getting married less frequently, and the negative implications that this may have for Western civilization. Dan also discusses his work on "sexual creepiness," why people get called creepy, and when it might be fair or unfair to classify someone as "creepy."
We also discuss self-defense, pacifism, and how Dan's argument for dignity informs the gun rights debate from a position that both left and right might agree on.
