Alcuin, On Virtues And Vices - Humility, Compunction, And Fear Of God

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval monk, theologian, philosopher, and educator Alcuin of York's work, On Virtues and Vices. Specifically it examines his discussion of humility, compunction of heart, and fear of God in chapters 10, 11, and 15. Each of these has to do with adopting proper perspective on oneself in relation to God and to one's own accomplishments, capacities, and actions To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can find a copy of Alcuin's On Virtues and Vices here - https://www.heroicage.org/issues/16/stone.php
