Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is the founding document of the study of ethics. Every student of philosophy should have at least some basic understanding and knowledge of the text. We study the most significant passages of this exemplary and foundational text together, so we can gain a profound understanding of its moral themes and also learn to relate its virtue ethics to our own lives.

Philosophy of Power

Power is an idea that everybody is familiar with. Or so it seems. Power incites awe, fear, praise, submission, pain, dominance, and glory. Those who strive for it end up being devoured by it. Those who do not desire power, are most suited to wield it. In many ways, power represents an elusive mystery, an unknown dark energy, not fully comprehended. Since antiquity, many brilliant thinkers have given explanations and justifications for power. A wide range of angles and perspectives can be employed in order to study power. This course journeys through the works of the most profound thinkers of power. Once completed, all conventional illusions pertaining to power shall be shattered so that we can see it for it really is.

Plato on Beauty and Virtue

with the Halkyon Guild, we will explore six platonic dialogues with a particular focus to contemplate upon the beautiful and virtue. The six dialogues we will read together are: Greater Hippias Symposium Phrades Meno Cratylus Parmenides. I have structured the course in such a manner so as we read these dialogues we will circumscribe the following considerations: We start with Greater Hippias with the typical elenchus method of knocking down the sophist Hippias’s particular examples of the Beautiful and Socrates’s hypothetical replies to what is the definition of the Beautiful. In fact, from the exchanges between Hippias and Socrates, the connection between predicates and their subjects begin to untether. From Symposium, we explore what love is as a predicate and how beauty interacts with love, in words spoken by Socrates, “to behold true realities which nourish true virtue.”
