Aristotle vs. Kant on Epistemology and Ethics

In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each episode.

In lecture 3, Dr. Kreeft examines the epistemology and ethics of Aristotle and Kant. Modern students have great difficulty believing common sense because our modern philosophies have percolated down to them through our modern culture.

I am only now learning of Dr. Kreeft. Had I only found him 30 years ago I feel I'd be a better person today.

Just beautiful comparison and contrast of Aristotelian and Kantian epistemology and ethics. You left us with an honest conclusion. Brilliant and insightful, Professor. Thanks for sharing.

Kreeft gets better, clearer and more effective as he gets older and older. superb.

Professor Kreeft is maybe the most intelligent philosopher of our age. This is the core stuff of life.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. A generous man in true sense is how I think of you

This series is amazing. The parallel between Sola Scriptura and Scientism was fantastic (6:40). I've never heard of any more convincing argument against Sola Scriptura than that.

These philosophy focused lectures are brilliant, so much context and concise information.

[briankelly]

This is profound stuff. I am learning new perspectives with each lecture - thank you.

I have to listen to it several times to take notes. The link of final cause with ethicts is an aspect I did not link so clearly. It is paramount to have a comprehensive understanding of ethics and how it links with the rest of existence.

[arthurmaglieri]

His books are fantastic!!! I reread them they are so good

[williambuysse]

A combination of C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton is Dr. Kreeft but as himself; a wonderfully simple and direct man in all the best sense. A true teacher.

[SMRogers]

Listening to these lectures frames the retreat I have been looking for. Retreat to faith and teason

[donaldist]

the term "logophobic" explains the ills of our time so well

Great idea to structure a lecture series in contrasting figures, this is indeed revealing in many respects.

I'm enjoying these lectures immensly. Thank you!
