Aristotle: Instagram Influencer?


Listen Later

What are the ethics of podcasting? How have Instagram and Twitter changed our pursuit of meaning? What is the greatest good? In this episode we take on the topic of social media in the modern world: what Aristotle and Niel Postman would say about the dangers of the 'virtual polis'? Is making (or listening to) podcasts is morally acceptable? We also stroke Ravi's ego by discussing an essay he wrote "Virtue Ethics & the Internet" which will be posted to the website soon. Also make sure to check out Niel Postman's incredible book, 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' (1985), or a cool read by a little-known philosopher Aristotle's 'Nicomachean Ethics'  to continue learning.
