Why the Masterpiece of Medieval Philosophy was Never Finished | Thomas Aquinas
Thomas Aquinas was the shining light of medieval philosophy. He worked on his masterpiece the Summa Theologica from 1265 until the year of his death in 1274. This book — most famous today for its 5 arguments for the existence of God — was the reason for his canonisation as a saint and doctor of the Catholic church fifty years after his death.
But the work was unfinished because a few months before Aquinas’s death something happened that caused him to abandon his masterpiece. When his socius (a sort of assistant) Reginald of Piperno begged him to continue his work Aquinas replied:
“I can do no more; such things have been revealed to me that all that I have written seems to me as so much straw.”

INTRO
introduction-to-anaxagoras-presocratic
Anaxagoras of Clazomenae is, in Presocratic Philosophy, the philosopher of Nous - the Cosmic principle of mind which sets everything in the universe in motion. In this episode of The Living Philosophy we explore the Anaxagoras Nous Cosmic Mind philosophy and how it relates to another giant of Presocratic Philosophy Parmenides and his theory of Being. For more on the Ancient Greek philosophy giants we call Presocratics, be sure to check out our video on the Presocratic philosopher Heraclitus and the way in which his philosophy is often misunderstood. So without further ado let's look at the first philosopher to live in Athens - Anaxagoras of Clazomenae.

THE V
the-virgin-the-etymological-mythology-of
The root meaning of the word virgin is 'whole unto herself'. Joseph Campbell explores the higher meaning of this and how Shakti can create the world through sexual union with Shiva and yet remain a virgin. It is to do with the question of the depth psychology meaning of the story. This is the divine masculine and the divine feminine coming together. It is love not as compensation not as filling a lack (as in Aristophanes' account in Plato's Symposium) but as a matter of the cup overfloweth.
Further watching:
For a great video on Aristophanes searching for our other half myth in Plato's Symposium, I'd highly recommend AmygdalaVids video on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2e2ePR1IzQ

ALEXA
alexander-the-great-and-the-gordian-knot
This Alexander the Great and the Gordian Knot summary looks at the legendary story of the Macedonian king and the famous knot. It is one of the most characteristic incidents in the myth of the greatest general the world has ever seen. This bright episode of ancient history shows the audacity and genius of Alexander the Great in his foul outwitting of the ancient prophecy of the Gordian Knot. In this #short episode of The Living Philosophy, we tell the story of this ancient greek epic moment when Alexander the Great cut the Gordian knot.
In the legend and prophecy of the mythic Gordian Knot Alexander the Great is the man who slices his way past the riddle and goes on to master Asia.

WHAT
what-is-philosophy-knowlege-vs-wisdom
What is philosophy? The clue is in the word - philos (love) + sophia (wisdom). It's a question of knowledge vs wisdom. Academic philosophy in the Analytical tradition has something of an existential crisis on its hands in answering this question. It aspires to create knowledge but finds that compared to the fledgeling science it has very little accumulation of knowledge to speak about. In today's episode of the Living Philosophy I explore my views on the subject looking at the definition of knowledge vs wisdom and the answer to the question what is philosophy and also the other important question - what is wisdom?

be-where-you-are-how-to-jumpstart
Have you been wondering how to jumpstart personal growth for yourself? Well the answer is simple (in one way) - be where you are now: affirm your level of development; stop trying to jump ten steps ahead and say yes to the challenges and realities that present themselves to you right now. That is the secret in many ways to moving forward.

NIETZ
nietzsche's-surprising-love-of-ralph
Nietzsche and Emerson don’t seem like they should go together. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a spiritual nature-loving Transcendentalist and Friedrich Nietzsche was a self-proclaimed Antichrist. But the truth is that Nietzsche loved Ralph Waldo Emerson and while he was far from agreement with him on many points, he felt that Emerson was a “twin soul” and only wished that he could go back and give this great nature a proper education.
When you cut past the superficial differences the beating heart of both philosophies are deeply related—both throw aside the revelations of other authorities in order to form a personal relationship with truth, both believe in the power of the individual and the importance of genius. At the core of the philosophy of Nietzsche and of Emerson’s philosophy was the conviction that philosophy was something that you lived.
Nietzsche first read the philosophy of Emerson as a 17 year old schoolboy and his relationship with Emerson spanned a quarter century all the way to the end of his career in 1889. In this episode we explore this strange but potent connection between Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nietzsche.

FRIED
friedrich-nietzsche-beyond-good-and-evil
Today we look at the meaning of the title of Nietzsche magnum opus Beyond Good and Evil. The title of the book is enigmatic and the meaning of it only enhances this impression. To put it simpy it is about moving beyond the black and white perspective of good and evil and to begin to see a world in full colour of many valuations. That is what the book itself does - it takes apart so many values systems and draws distinctions and makes insights in many different nooks and crannies of truth.

PHILO
philosophy’s-two-paths-the-view-from
The etymology of philosophy leads to the love of wisdom. The paths to wisdom can be divided into two: ekstasis and catharsis. Jamie Wheal is a thinker who utilises this distinction in his book Recapture the Rapture and on podcasts (where he includes a third aspect: Communitas — community/sangha).
The distinction between ekstasis and catharsis is a powerful one. Ekstasis is the higher perspective; it is being on the mountain and surveying the entire landscape. Catharsis on the other hand is the way under — it is Dante going through Hell and emerging into Heaven.
Ultimately both ekstasis and catharsis lead us to the same place: wisdom but the journey is very different. We can see philosophers throughout history leaning more towards one direction or another: Plato, Plotinus, Parmenides and Spinoza lead us towards the high insights of ekstasis; Heraclitus, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard lead us towards the deep wisdom of catharsis.
