I am a teenager, could be out with my friends. But I am choosing to watch a 50 minute lecture on virtue ethics because I watched one tv show that talked about it. This is the single best decision I have ever made. Thank you for this!! I have watched a couple of your videos(while they probably aren't intended for me)
2:20 Virtue ought to have some goal 2:53 Social Stability, Individual Character, Fulfillment/Completion 6:30 Ambitious 17:29 Making your own rules and following them 18:10 Intrinsic Goods (Good for their own sake) Instrumental Goods (Good towards something else/Good for what it can do) 19:38 Health falls in both. Love is intrinsic. Humor is both
I really enjoy this professor. I only wish the subtitles were more accurate. It is important in philosophy videos that the words be correct. A hearing-impaired person might get a very incorrect impression.
I think Aristotle would as well. He said man was a political/social animal. Isolation is basically inhuman, even the old hermits were social in so far as they were reading books and whatnot by others.
