Today's excerpt comes from a paper by Bernard Williams, in which he explores the charge that we sometime levy upon people who refuse to do something because they find it “morally distasteful." Are such people self-indulgent.Join the discussion at <a href="http://community.alifeofthought.com/">community.alifeofthought.com</a>, or read the annotations at <a href="http://alifeofthought.com/d15">alifeofthought.com/d15</a>.

Williams on Self-Indulgence

A deep and thoughtful life is a life well lived. Explore philosophy, and think in the company of others. 

Our podcast is simple. Each episode, we 'zoom in' to two paragraphs from a philosophical work. It could be anything: From Plato, to Freud, to Homer, to Proust! Our goal is to give you the tools to think about the paragraph and ideas yourself, to de-ivory-tower-ify it, rather than provide a simple summary. Think of it like a morning mental workout. New episodes every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
