Aristotle's philosophy of happiness is foundational for Western Ethics, and it is, in my opinion, the best definition of happiness ever penned by a philosopher. History remember Aristotle as "The Master of Those Who Know." After you learn his philosophy of happiness, you'll never hear the word "happiness" the same way again.

Aristotle's philosophical psychology is not only deep and insightful, it is still highly relevant for understanding how character and a "way of life" (ethos) are developed. In this Episode we look at passages from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and his writings On Rhetoric and On the Soul.

Ever wonder where the idea of "platonic love" comes from? In this Episode, we discuss the celebrated passage from Plato's dialogue the Symposium known as "the ladder of love" or the scala amoris. In the passage, Plato describes a drinking party, where the guests take turns giving praise for love, or more specifically, "the god of love." In the middle of the dialogue, it is Socrates' turn to give his praising account of love, and, in doing so, Socrates recounts his discussion with the (oracle-like) prophetess Diotima; a discussion that tells the story of the scala amoris, the ladder of love.

"Ontology" is one of the most important terms in all of philosophy. It literally refers to "the study of be-ing." It is also referred to as "metaphysics," and can be sub-divided into cosmology, psychology, and theology. Let's discuss "ontology" and how it fits into the architecture of philosophy.
