Run like a Philosopher | Sabrina Little


Listen Later

Sabrina Little is an author, ultramarathoner, and a professor of philosophy. 


Her latest book, “The Examined Run” is suitable not only for competitive athletes, but for anyone who wants to:  


Strengthen his body, discipline his mind, learn the basics of philosophy, and, most importantly, cultivate long-lasting virtues. 


In this episode, Sabrina and I discuss: 


Ancient Greek Philosophy; Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; How a strong BODY makes for a strong MIND; Admiration v. Imitation v. Emulation; Envy: Benign and Malign; iPhones and Idle Voyeurism; Mindfulness; Virtues and Vices; Acts and Habits; The formation of good habits; The development of a good character; Thomas Aquinas; Happiness; The Three Models of Happiness; Physical fitness and BEAUTY; Life as a Professor; Academia in America; The Liberal Arts; 


And MUCH more! 


I hope that you enjoy this episode.
