Advice from Aristotle pt.1

from Sibyl Service Hosted by Sophie Dibben

Did Aristotle think women need to have orgasms to get pregnant? Or that masters can be more 'slavish' than their own slave? Does Aristotle like 'ugly' animals? There is no ancient thinker who can speak more directly to the concerns and anxieties of contemporary life than can Aristotle. Olivia Fane and I deliberate Aristotle’s approach to slavery, women, and animals. We chat about how his advice teaches us not to compare ourselves to others, to train ourselves to be good people and to have the different parts of our soul in harmony.
