Ep. 086 - On Plato’s Republic

from Magnus Podcast: Conversations from the Catacombs of Liberal Education · host Albertus Magnus Institute, Inc.

"What is the best way of life for a human being?" The Republic is the most complete attempt by Plato to articulate and answer this question. It is characteristic of Plato that, in the Republic, questions about human happiness ultimately cannot be separated from questions of education, of the nature of the city, of the various forms of government, of the structure of the human soul, and of the character of the gods and being itself. . This week, we wrapped up an 8 week summer course on this very topic with Sr. Fellow Dr. Pavlos Papadopoulos.  We now present you with the first lecture from this excellent course.  Become a fellow and learn how you can watch the rest of the course and attend more for free!
