Pursuing Virtue with Dean Abbot
Manage episode 328968217 series 3351327
Today I am interviewing Dean Abbot. He is an author, former college professor, and mentor to men across the country. He has written a couple of books, On Character and Community, and Common Good: Reflections on Everyday Vices and Virtues, the latter of which is the focus of this podcast. We talk about why philosophy is a benefit to everyone (not just philosophers), the difference between vice and sin, the role of religion in the pursuit of virtue, and why a good life means more than getting to heaven when we die.
