Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, Stoic Paradoxes, and focuses on the second paradox, namely that virtue or moral rectitude is not only necessary but also sufficient for human happiness. He discusses why most people do not view matters this way, and what the mistakes or problems with their views about the good and happiness are.

This lecture discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss the fundamental difference Kierkegaard outlines between the tragic hero - who moves in the domain of the ethical - and Abraham - the knight of faith, who moves into the domain of the religious, above or beyond the ethical.

This lecture discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss what Kierkegaard means by a "teleological suspension of the ethical". This involves a move into what he calls the "religious" as opposed to the ethical, and is something that the knight of faith, or Abraham does, by virtue of the absurd.

This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith.

This lecture discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss how Kierkegaard views how philosophy ought to orient itself towards what he calls "faith". Philosophy remaining true to its own mission will find faith to be paradoxical.

This lecture discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work Fear and Trembling. This is a classic work of Existentialist literature and philosophy, and focuses upon the figure of Abraham and the demands of faith. In this lecture, we discuss why without "anxiety, distress, and paradox", the figure and meaning of Abraham in the story about faith cannot be adequately grasped. We also discuss two other examples where such anxiety is relevant.
