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 discussions mainly in chapters 28, 29, and 30 which center on three of the capital or principal vices, namely gluttony, lust/fornication, and greed. He discusses what each of these are, what other vices or sins they lead to, and what remedies there are for them 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
