In this eighty-eighth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss a common mistaken summary of Stoic philosophy as a the position that “virtue is the only good”. They start by talking about Cicero’s first Stoic paradox, which is that “the morally worthy” or “honorable” is the only good, not as it has been mistranslated “virtue is the only good.

They discuss what else Stoics consider to be good besides the moral virtues of wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage. These other goods include happiness, equanimity, tranquility, and not being bothered by negative emotions. They also include positive emotions such as joy, caution, love, among others, and certain relationships with other people. Dan and Greg explore these by examining actual Stoic texts and thinkers, including Seneca, Epictetus, Arius Didymus, and Cicero.

Here's the show episode in podcast format - soundcloud.com/user-240416425/wisdom-for-life-episode-88-stoic-philosophy-and-confusions-about-virtue-and-vice

Intro and outro music is from an original track created just for Wisdom for Life by musician and guitar professor (Berkelee School of Music), Scott Tarulli. Here's his page - check him out! scotttarulli.com

This is a show in which Dan Hayes and I explore ideas from philosophy and connected fields and apply them to issues and challenges from everyday life. We range quite broadly, sometimes exploring resources from philosophical traditions like Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Existentialism, among others. We focus on both understanding theory and key ideas, and on experimenting with philosophies in practice, or philosophy as a way of life. We discuss social, political, ethical, relationship, dating, and workplace issues. We also occasionally answer listener questions, or focus a show on untangling moral dilemmas found in AITA posts. We have also done interviews with guests ranging from academic philosophers to NFL football players. And we sometimes stray over into literature and popular culture, for example, in looking at Philip K. Dick's works.

Beecher and Armani Cat Wrestling At Almost Home Cat Rescue | Shorts From Milwaukee Life

Gregory B. Sadler 2024-10-20 | This Youtube short is of two young cats playing together, engaging in "cat wrestling", in the community room at Almost Home Cat Rescue. The golden one is 1-year old Beecher, named as such for the street he was found on. The tuxedo cat is 2-year old Armani, brought to the shelter in after a trap-neuter-release by a friend of ours. Both of them are very friendly and love to cuddle and get pets as well as to play.

I volunteer at that shelter frequently and often go in for the open house on Sundays. "Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) founded by volunteers in early 2021. Our passion is to create a safe haven for all cats in our care until their forever home is found; as well as to be a resource to the community, for its cats, and the people who love them."

This Core Concept video focuses on the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. This video focuses on what Scheler identifies as "spiritual varieties of ressentiment, two varieties of which he identifies at the beginning of his discussion, the "apostate" and the "romantic"state of mind. He also discusses ressentiment as involved in "every way of thinking which attributes creative power to mere negation and critique"

I asked my followers, viewers, and subscribers a while back: "When I hear or read someone describe themselves as a "political junkie" or "history buff", going from years of experience, I assume there's a high chance they're poorly informed, opinionated, and a jerk in conversations. What would be equivalent terms for other areas of study?"

I have compiled a number of good responses here and discuss them in this video. They include:
policy wonk, "critical thinker", "free thinker", "realist", "skeptic", "open-minded", "graduate of the school of hard knocks", "thought leader", "guru", "biohacker," "spiritually enlightened," "spiritual not religious", "life coach," "health nut", "parenting expert", "audiophile", "film buff", "foodie", and "minimalist"

This Core Concept video focuses on the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. This video focuses on the ways in which comparison and valuation between oneself and others figures into ressentiment. Scheler thinks that practically everyone engages in comparison with others, but the ways in which one compares oneself and values oneself is very different between the "noble" and "common" types of persons. The latter can also be divided into the arriviste type and the person of ressentiment

Sadler Telling Stories 75 | My Freshman Year Of College And The French Language House

This is the seventy-fifth in a series of videos in which I engage in some storytelling about my own personal experiences, relationships, realizations, and life. Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.

In this video, I tell the story about how I wound up getting placed in an experimental "language house" my freshman year of college in 1990 at Lakeland College. There were four suites with 4 room each, one of which was occupied by a native speaker of a language, and three of which would be occupied by students who were supposed to be studying that language and interacting with the native speaker daily. I was placed in the French house, since they knew that my family spoke some Canadian French at home. There were also Spanish, German, and Japanese houses. The biggest incentive for participating was that you got a single room, rather than a double.

I had a great time myself not only in the French house, but also in the others, particularly the Japanese house, one room of which we turned into a party room where we played card and drank regularly during the second semester, when the person who had that room dropped out of college. I became friends with Cecile, who was our native language speaker for the French house, and we had a lot of fun that year.

This is a video in my new series of 1-on-1 interviews, conducted with people who - in my view - are doing interesting work with ideas that matter, often (though not exclusively) from the field of philosophy.

In this one, I have a conversation with Chris Bateman, who is a game designer, author, speaker, and consultant, and the owner of International Hobo, Ltd. Our conversation centers on some of the topics and the motivation behind writing his book The Virtuous Cyborg (Eyewear Publishing, 2018). These include the need for new conceptions of the virtues in the internet age, the notion of cyborgs as human-technology units, cybergs as much larger cultural networks. We range over a number of other topics as well, at the intersection of philosophy, culture, and technology.

This video focuses on Scheler's analysis of two main sources of ressentiment, namely the desire for revenge, on the one hand, and envy, jealousy, and the competitive impulse. There are other affects that can figure into ressentiment as well, that Scheler identifies, such as hatred, malice, spite, the urge to detract, and schadenfreude.

Key Thinkers and Movements in Ancient Greek Philosophy Up The Time Of Aristotles Lyceum

This video identifies and briefly discusses some of the key thinkers and schools within ancient Western philosophy up to the time of Aristotle and his school, the Lyceum. It is intended to provide an overview of who might be worthwhile to study if you want to have a solid understanding of the history of Western philosophy, which has much (though not all) of historical origins in Greek-language areas.

We first look at important thinkers and schools in pre-Socratic philosophy (sometimes just called "early Greek philosophy"), which include members of the Milesian, Eleatic, Pythagorean, Atomist, Pluralist schools or movements, such as Thales, Anaximander, Anximenes, Parmenides, Zeno, Melissus, Pythagoras, Philolaus, Leucippus, Democritus as well as philosophers that worked on their own like Xenophanes and Heraclitus. Another important though quite varied group includes those who were later identified as "Sophists", like Protagoras, Gorgias, Xeniades, Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Critias, among others. Yet another important group would be the legendary "sages" or wise people, which includes not just philosophers, but also other writers and statesmen. With these groups, we generally possess only portions of their works, and summaries of their doctrines coming from later philosophers.

We then look at Socrates himself, and the students and schools who he inspired, which include not just Plato and his Academy, but also Xenophon, Aristippus and the Cyrenaic hedonist school, Euclides and the Megarian school, and Antisthenes and the Cynic school. Following that, we discuss Aristotle and the Lyceum continued by his friend and companion Theophrastus. We also discuss thinkers who might not be considered philosophers strictly speaking, but whose works are certainly of philosophical interest, including rhetoricians like Isocrates and Demosthenes, and historians such as Thucydides.

Three Little Kitten Boys Snoozing In Bed Together At Almost Home Cat Rescue | Shorts From Milwaukee

This video is a short tour of the new office space we have moved into within the Global Water Center in the Walker's Point neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We recently moved from the Boston Lofts apartment in the Westown neighborhood into a new, smaller living space, so we needed to get some office space where both my wife and I can work, and where I can record videos, lead online classes, and edit podcast episodes.

Our office space is within a beautiful remodeled historic building, and we are on the fifth floor. We're not entirely unpacked at this point, but we do have our desks set up, new office chairs put together, bookshelves filled with unpacked books, my chalkboard set up, and my lighting gear unpacked and ready for filming. We are anticipating using the space for the long-term.

In this tour, I first tell viewers about the move and the office, then show the office itself , and then I go downstairs to show what the trip inside and up to our office looks like.

This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on the University Discussion about "theology and falsification" which took place in the 1940s, and included Anthony Flew, R.M. Hare, and Basic Mitchell. It focuses specifically on Flew's last contribution to the symposium, in which he discusses whether Hare's and Mitchell's suggested parables and interpretations really do provide an adequate response to his concerns about the "death by a thousand qualifications" of assertions and explanations in religious language.

It focuses specifically on a third parable, the agent who the resistance fighter meets, that Mitchell offers as an analogy to what goes on with religious believers when they encounter situations that suggest that there either is no God or that God does not care sufficiently about human suffering.

Dr Sadlers AMA (Ask Me Anything) Session - October 2024 - Underwritten By Patreon Supporters

Underwritten by the support of my Patreon backers, I offer an Ask Me Anything session for supporters, viewers, listeners, readers, and other fans each month.

We do AMA sessions each month, and you can find them on the ReasonIO events calendar and on my Facebook author page. You'll want to get your questions in early since a lot of viewers typically have questions to ask. You don't need to ask the same question multiple times.

Most of the questions I answer have to deal with Philosophy, Political Theory, History, Literature, or Religious Studies, but some stray into other areas like Music or popular culture.

Keep the discussion civil - being a jerk to participants or to me might get you booted from the channel.

Sadler Telling Stories 74 | My Neighbors Dog Atlas And His Near Escape To The Streets Of Milwaukee

This is the seventy-fourth in a series of videos in which I engage in some storytelling about my own personal experiences, relationships, realizations, and life. Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.

In this video, I tell the story of a somewhat strange encounter with one of our neighbors' dogs, Atlas, when we were living in the Boston Lofts apartments. When our dogs were still around, I didn't get to know Atlas well, but saw him often in hall or outside as he was being walked by the women who lived next to us. One day, as I was getting off the elevator on the 8th floor, Atlas got into the elevator by himself, and seemed nervous and upset. He was clearly on his own, and I didn't want him to take the elevator down to the first floor, where he could have gotten outside onto our busy city streets entirely by himself. So I walked him back to our neighbors' apartment, knocked on the door, and went to get him some water. Nobody answered when I knocked, but by the time I got back, he was gone, so I asked the women about him the next time I saw them, and they said he had gotten back inside safely

Hare proposes a different parable, one in which a person has an insane point of view (a "blik") about dons wanting to kill him. Hare argues that we have bliks about all sorts of matters and that these are not explanations but rather what underlie explanations

Flew argues that much modern theological discourse, in so far as it consists in genuine assertions, risks "death by a thousand qualifications".

Betty Milk-Dancing To The Music At Almost Home Cat Rescue | Shorts From Milwaukee Life

Gregory B. Sadler 2024-09-30 | This Youtube short is of one of the cats who was up for adoption at Almost Home Cat Rescue here in Milwaukee, Betty. She was very friendly, and liked to crawl up in my lap to cuddle with me in a big chair. In this video, she is doing what some people call "making biscuits", but I've long called "milk-dancing", the motions that kittens make when nursing on their mother that adult cats often do when they are happy. There happened to be some music on, and it looked a bit like Betty was dancing to the music.

I volunteer at that shelter frequently and often go in for the open house on Sundays. "Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) founded by volunteers in early 2021. Our passion is to create a safe haven for all cats in our care until their forever home is found; as well as to be a resource to the community, for its cats, and the people who love them."

Check out Scott Tarulli - scotttarulli.com

This is the videorecording of our regularly scheduled Classic Metal Class, where metalheads-from-childhood Scott Tarulli and Greg Sadler delve into topics at the intersection of music history, philosophy, sociology, music theory, and other fields. Class is held monthly, depending on scheduling. You can find out when the class is scheduled by going to the ReasonIO events calendar, or following Greg in social media

In this session we have a special guest joining us, Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser), one of the founders of the band Blue Oyster Cult, a band massively important in the development of heavy metal in the 1970s and 1980s. Blue Oyster Cult's music ranges over a number of genres, spanning from heavy metal to psychedelic and progressive rock. They have toured pretty much everywhere over the course of more than 5 decades, and have released 15 studio albums to date (counting their latest, Ghost Stories).

Our conversation ranges over a number of topics, as Scott and I ask Buck about the origins of Blue Oyster Cult, what the meaning of "heavy metal" was in the 1970s, whether Blue Oyster Cult is correctly described as a heavy metal band or not, how the band and sound changed over time, and other connected topics.

Little Kitten Pandemonium In The Tube At Almost Home Cat Rescue | Shorts From Milwaukee Life

This is the seventy-third in a series of videos in which I engage in some storytelling about my own personal experiences, relationships, realizations, and life. Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.

In this video, I discuss a story about my great-uncle Father Jean-Marie "John" Lemrise, C.M.F., which was told to me after his death by my uncle and his namesake Jean-Marie "John" Lemrise. I also start with a few other stories about Uncle Father John that tell you what kind of person and what sort of priest he was.

As a Claretian, Father John had to wear a scapulary underneath his clothing, and he always found it uncomfortable. This consists of an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus connected to an image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and it is worn with one image on one's chest and the other on one's back. One of Father John's local friends asked if if he could have it tattooed on him, and then not have to wear it. Father John checked with his superiors, and they okayed it, so his friend paid for him to have the Sacred Heart tattooed on one shoulder and the Immaculate Heart tattooed on the other.

This is the sixteenth in a series of shorter videos in which I give a "quick take" on some matter that I consider important to address, for at least some of my viewers, readers, listeners, followers, or students.

This Quick Take discusses a positive experience that some people have when they study philosophy as beginners for a while, spurred by one of my clients and friends who reported going through this, after which we discussed it and why it is a good thing. This experience is that of gradually finding that a network of connections has been developing within one's own mind as one studies philosophy (and perhaps other disciplines as well). In my view, that experience is an excellent sign of progress, showing that one is not simply accumulating information, but slowly making the philosophers and their ideas a part of one's own mind, giving space to them within

Tiny Tony Stark Seeking Out Pets At Almost Home Cat Rescue | Shorts From Milwaukee Life

Gregory B. Sadler 2024-09-25 | This Youtube short is of a kitten, Tony Stark, at Almost Home Cat Rescue here in Milwaukee.

Immanuel Kant, YouTube Demonetization, and The C Word | YouTube Doubles Down On A Mistake

This video is a short reflection upon a recent demonetization of a video of a local talk I gave recently (Philosophers in the Midst of History session 26 | Immanuel Kant, The Enlightenment & German Idealism). YouTube's algorithm routinely flags some of videos for demonetization, generally for bad reasons, and generally after a manual review, their "suitable for monetization" status gets reinstated, as the human reviewers realize that the algorithm screwed up.

In the case of my talk video, the human reviewer mistakenly confirmed what the algorithm had wrongly decided, that there was "inappropriate language" within the video. The culprit turned out to be the name "Kant", which pronounced more or less correctly sound like but also unlike the "C-word". I posted about that decision by YouTube in my social media, and quite a few people responded to it. I share and talk a bit about those responses here.

This Core Concept video focuses on John Wisdom's essay "Gods", found in his work Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, and examines his discussion of what he calls the "logic(s)" of disputes about the existence or nature of gods. By this, Wisdom has in mind the type of appeals or argumentation that people can use. Wisdom thinks that these disputes are not governed by the same logic as mathematical matters or empirically scientific matters, and bear closer similarities to those involved in legal matters, or better, aesthetic matters.

Key Thinkers In Existentialist Philosophy And Literature | Important Movements In Philosophy

This video identifies and briefly discusses some of the key thinkers within the large and loose movement in literature, philosophy, theology, psychology, and art that eventually gets called "Existentialism". It is intended to help people who are interested in this are in philosophy and literature specifically to have some sense of which writers it would be useful for them to read and study, and how they fit into the roughly 130 years of development of the movement.

There is no uncontroversial or consensus definition of what Existentialism is or means as a philosophical stance or movement (and anyone who tells you there is, you should rightly be suspicious of). Instead, there is a network of figures dealing with a common set of themes, issues, and problems, often referring to or influenced by each other. Existentialism also overlaps with several other movements in philosophy and literature, so you sometimes see existentialist authors placed under other categories.

I distinguish between several phases of Existentialism's development as a movement and set of orientations within philosophy and literature. Of course, there is some overlap and bleeding-over between these phases.

The first phase includes Søren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Friedrich Nietzsche, and arguably also Leo Tolstoy, Max Stirner, Anton Chekhov, Georg Brandes, and Henrik Ibsen.

The second phase includes Lev Shestov, Miguel de Unamuno, Rainer Maria Rilke, Karl Jaspers, Franz Kafka, Gabriel Marcel, Martin Heidegger, Martin Buber, Nikolai Berdyaev, Ortega Y Gasset, and perhaps Lou-Andreas Salomé, André Gide, August Strindberg, T. S. Eliot, and W.E.B. Dubois.

The third phase includes Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Frantz Fanon, Emil Cioran, Keiji Nishitani, Samuel Beckett, Jean Anouilh, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and perhaps Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Marguerite Duras

This Core Concept video focuses on John Wisdom's essay "Gods", found in his work Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, and examines his discussion of the different sources of questions that people could have or be motivated by in disputes about whether or not god(s) exist. One of these sources is experiential and another is metaphysical, but there is also a third source, which Wisdom analyses in more depth and detail, which has to do with interpretation.

In this eighty-seventh episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss some insights and practices for dealing with negative emotions likely to arise from hearing, reading, or otherwise encountering political news and pseudo-news speculations.

We currently live in a time in which political matters, whether real or made-up, are constantly being discussed, and that can easily lead to feeling emotions ranging from fear and anxiety to anger, hatred, disgust, or even sadness and depression. We can use ideas and practices developed by schools of philosophy to help us maintain a better set of emotional states.

Here's the show episode in podcast format - soundcloud.com/user-240416425/wisdom-for-life-episode-87-political-news-pitfalls-and-keeping-your-head

Intro and outro music is from an original track created just for Wisdom for Life by musician and guitar professor (Berkelee School of Music), Scott Tarulli. Here's his page - check him out! scotttarulli.com

This is a show in which Dan Hayes and I explore ideas from philosophy and connected fields and apply them to issues and challenges from everyday life. We range quite broadly, sometimes exploring resources from philosophical traditions like Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Existentialism, among others. We focus on both understanding theory and key ideas, and on experimenting with philosophies in practice, or philosophy as a way of life. We discuss social, political, ethical, relationship, dating, and workplace issues. We also occasionally answer listener questions, or focus a show on untangling moral dilemmas found in AITA posts. We have also done interviews with guests ranging from academic philosophers to NFL football players. And we sometimes stray over into literature and popular culture, for example, in looking at Philip K. Dick's works.

This Core Concept video focuses on Karl Popper's essay "Towards A Rational Theory Of Tradition", found in his work Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge, and examines his discussion of how science develops historically. Popper does not think that observation and the "scientific method" taught in classes and textbooks is really at the core of what science is and how it develops. Instead, what sustains it is a critical tradition that involves discussion about whether accounts are accurate, coherent, and defensible, along with revision of accounts in light of that discussion

This is the seventy-second in a series of videos in which I engage in some storytelling about my own personal experiences, relationships, realizations, and life. Sometimes these might connect with my profession as a philosopher, but often that won't be the case.

In this video, I discuss an experience that I had of fortunately getting lost in Paris and running into the Musée de l’Orangerie, where I purchased a ticket and went in just to see what they had there. As it turned out, this museum houses Claude Monet's Waterlilies, one of my favorite sets of impressionist paintings. In this story, I tell how I wound up there, and why seeing them for the first time in their fullness was such a moving and joy-filled experience for me.

Underwritten by the support of my Patreon backers, I offer an Ask Me Anything session for supporters, viewers, listeners, readers, and other fans each month.

We do AMA sessions each month, and you can find them on the ReasonIO events calendar and on my Facebook author page. You'll want to get your questions in early since a lot of viewers typically have questions to ask. You don't need to ask the same question multiple times.

Most of the questions I answer have to deal with Philosophy, Political Theory, History, Literature, or Religious Studies, but some stray into other areas like Music or popular culture.

Keep the discussion civil - being a jerk to participants or to me might get you booted from the channel.

This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres

This video focuses on Jorge Luis Borges' short philosophical story, "Averroes' Search" and discusses the islamic philosopher's failure to determine the meanings of "comedy" and "tragedy" in his commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Even after seeing and hearing about several instances of something like drama, he remains unable to make the association between what Aristotle discusses in his work and dramatic play.

This video focuses on Jorge Luis Borges' short philosophical story, "Averroes' Search", which centers on a fictional characterization of the Islamic philosopher Ibn-Rushd, also known as Averroes in the Latin West, who's work on his commentary on Aristotle is interrupted by a dinner and conversation with the traveller Abu Al Hasan, who has reputedly ventured as far as China. He recounts having seen what we recognize as a play, which makes little sense to him or his muslim interlocutors
