Yes, this is a reupload. I wanted a version with higher audio quality. I’ll still leave the previous video up, but as unlisted, so as to not break any external links with it. Sorry about any inconvenience!

Bryan's intros are a lesson on communication... tremendous

Martha Nussbaum kicks ass! What a mind?! Then and now! Thank you so much!

I'm very grateful for this channel and listen to it often

Why can't we have TV programming as deep as this today? Now, it would be a trendy young academic, parading round the ruins of Athens to a booming soundtrack, giving us patronizing soundbites and making inappropriate comparisons between Aristotle and figures from today's pop culture, with dramatized inserts.

I find Aristotle's ideas in ethics most appealing and relevant in shaping the world we live in today.

[Pontiki]

I am a 47 year old Greek, and 90% of all the things i know about my ancestors of that time, came from English, American, and German people.

when reading Aritotle, his words fixes the very evaluating principles we use to assess what we are reading. one doesnt wanna say no to aristotle, or he'd sooner or later regret it. Aristotle is completely perfect.

I thought Diane worked at Cheers full time. Who knew she was also faculty at Brown?

[mclark]

it would be hilarious to see Aristotle's simultaneously reacting to the fact that a) he's still extremely relevant 3000 years later, and that b) his work can be studied by women

‘…’nous’ is a kind of insight we get into the explanatory role - the fundamental status of a principle - by our experience in using it - to give scientific explanations…’ - gawd help us!

It's all systems. What a thing does and how it does it determines its essence. However, I think it's still important to recognize that the specific kind of matter making up that system is also essential to its functioning. And ultimately, all atoms of matter are made up of the same building blocks, meaning there is a fundamental neutral emptiness to everything, and that essence is only created by the functioning of many indistinguishable atoma of matter in different ways with one another.

By Nature every man desires to know, Being qua being.

She kinda looks like vintage Sean Young, which I'm not upset about.

[erikjunior]

Aristotle sees all particular things as real. The dried leaves on the ground, each snowflake, even the flies that bug you, all particulars are true reality as opposed to Plato's ideas where there is an idea or archetype of a fly, and all specific flies are shadows of their real form.

This interview took place 37 years ago, in 1987.

Is she reading a script? She keeps looking down. Just wondering?

[briandzwoniarek]

Can someone clear up Aristotle stance on equity vs equality? She starts to touch on it at the end while disputing his politics. Is she saying that his ideals of politics and equity aren't *reconcilable* because of his views on women, foreigners or slaves? As Aristotle is in favor of *equity when it comes to justice*, but favors male citizenship in this principle???

So this is what American women were like before Ticktock
