Aquinas on Happiness
Happiness is one of the oldest and most elusive topics in the history of philosophy.
Philosophers, from the ancient Greek Socrates (469-399 B.C.) to the contemporary American Martha Nussbaum (1947-present), have tried to answer the question “what is happiness?”, yet only a handful seem to have been successful.
In this video, we will explore one of the classic views on happiness, that of the medieval philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225-1274), and hopefully find some guidance on how to achieve it.
Video Chapters
0:29 “All agents act for the sake of an end” (ST IaIIae 1.2c)
1:28 An Ultimate End
2:29 The Beatific Vision

Aquinas' Virtue Ethics
มุมมอง 486หลายเดือนก่อน
In his natural law theory, Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225-1274) argued that human persons can naturally know and do what is good. However, he was also aware that because of certain limitations, such as erroneous judgments and inordinate desires, they will not always be able to do what is morally right in every situation. Because of this, Aquinas emphasized the necessity of acquiring virtues to help t...

Critically inheriting the main traditions of natural law from the ancient world and carefully synthesizing them with Christian doctrine, his natural law theory has set the terms for subsequent developments and debates on the topic. In this video, we will explore Aquinas’ natural law the...

What is Ecological Literacy (Ecoliteracy)?
Derpiness. It's simply a crisis in modernism. Rejection of objective reality is always a road to insanity, individual & collective. A direct consequence is destruction of living things & the entire non-human world by lacking any respect for the material reality we share.

@@languageandideas For a while now.
is this ai
Yes, but only the voiceover. The rest: text (research and writing), PPT, video, etc. were made by us, college teachers. 🙂
From this short video,, I can see I would like Husserl's ideas,, As support for my studies in Plato and CG Jung.. CG Jung is really my main mentor,, although i take issues with some of his essay's/ideas.. ,,,,,I am one of CG's worlds biggest supporters but also the world's most outspoken critic of some of his statements/essays.. This includes his letters vol 1 and vol 2. = CG would not invite me to his lectures,,CG and I are likes and opposities, whereas CG did not like much critical assement of anything he said,, vs myself,, If all you do is agree with me,, I do not want you around me. So in this sense CG and I are contraries. However make damn sure your critiques hold water.
Interesting... Why wouldn't Jung invite you to his lectures?
@@languageandideas,,,well as we know from reading CG's bios, and seminar's, he could get annoyed if confronted w a Q or opinion which might challenge his ideas, ,,,he just might get a bit defensive. CG had a powerful and very developed intellect.. = That said, CG also most loved speakoing with friends who could rise to his level of insights,, CG once said , the only bk he would not edit is Answer to Job,,,, It is this bk I have most criticisms of,, ,,, I like to be challenged in all my ideas,, and alos give back criticisms where/when needed, In this sense I say CG might not like to see me at his seminars,, It was not so easy to get invited,,,,CG really liked only supporters, CG 's life is deep and complex,, He says some things in his letters that i will never geta answer ,,,,,CG was under some censures for many reasons.. = He had to keep soime sort ofa **reputation** His wife's family tree was of high society in Switzerland. CG knew his boundaries when criticizing christianity,, But he went too far,, He fliped floped. Its a long story,, answers we will never get unless we go to Zurich and find people who really knows the answers,, But CG's surviving family are not speaking much,,I would loved to ask Bair these Q's about CG's relation to christianity/protestantism. In one of his letters he say **WE protestants** Mind blowing,, and **I am not gnostic I am agnostic** , 2 untruths. ...CG was very complex and we will never get the answers to his opinions about christianity being a major part of antichrist.
If you like Plato and Jung….Husserl is on a whole different level. Not saying it’s better or worse , it’s just insanely hard to understand his actual writing. Honestly I would just put all of that effort into understanding Heidegger and studying Being and Time. He takes Husserl’s project and flips parts of it. It’s more comprehensible once you get the language down. Husserl will just make you want to pull you hair out. Also, how old are you ? You’re talking like you’re one of Jung’s contemporaries. He literally died in the 60’s.
I agree @@Whocares1987 ! I also had that question in mind. 😅
@@Whocares1987 I am 68.months away from 69,, but decades behind in moral/intellectual developments,, as both my parents were sons of satan,, Heidegger is a no go for me, as ae most every of the so called philosophers,, DELEUZE and his co partner a very famous book discussed on YT,, I ordered and immediaetly threw in the trash can....I am extremely selective,, at my age, old and near blind,,vision severe stigmatism,, at birth,,, ,,I just order 3 books1 Hurssel as author, the 2nd commentary on Hurssel anda 3rd,, essays' on the topic of Intuition etc ,, its from the CAMBRIDGE Series, massive 800 pages,,another book in my Ebay basket dealing with Decision making in INTUITIONS,, Skimmed through it online,, Most of the material is not much of use NOW,, however it will help me in my bible studies and studies in CG Jung,,, You see what we read might not have immediate value,, but will break open the ground so the lava of new thoughts can break through into consciousness. YOu see I am gnostic,,I partake of all , Hurssel will be wonderful,,,as i am a phenomenologist, intuitive/forensic/emiricist/Platonic(]I avoid all things Aristotle/Realist/Universalist,,but am nota mystic,, I do not like mysticism,, I much perfer the language of The PARADOX....Yeshua was a Paradox,,,,,,, Jung would ALWAYS say **I am a empiricist*** But he was also much more and also had limitations due to maintaining a **reputation** CG was extremely complex phenomenon,,, Q 's that will never be fully answered as most of his closest family/friends are all gone . Hurssel will prove to be super enlightening. Nice Day Paul
Well the meaning has changed now. Neo colonialism is illegal migrants flooding western countries. Your old definition does not include actual people, or reflect the movement of people in the current world.
I agree, neocolonialism's definition needs to be updated. Illegal migration is indeed happening more and more these days.
An excellent introduction! Direct, concise and to the point. These are the very basic ideas you should have to understand p/m.
Thank you so much! 😊

Isn't postmodernism and democratic liberalism similar in a sense? And by that token, so is modernism to conservative republic?
To be honest, I'm not so sure. Can you please elaborate?
You're spot on
Well in essence, republic/conservatism wants there to be a strict system with clear absolute rules and for winners and losers to exist, whereas democracy/liberalism loves blurring and mixing in the grey so that everyone can win. Modernism implicitly said the a priori rule that it would be better if things were easier/convenient. Postmodernism is realizing materialism isn't fulfilling and to screw off with mainstream rules and to find our own philosophy which is unique to each of us just as we are absurd in our own idiosyncratic way. From what i see, both search for something that mythologies of the past already offer us. And frankly, there have been real prophets who've already predicted such movements way back in late 1800s, such as dostoevsky's argument against paradise from Notes From Underground. This is a tremendous simplification with a lot of details left out, but i can tell more context if you'd like.
And i mean honestly, i recently watched Fight Club, and the more i think about it, isn't it based on the same fundamental premise of postmodernism vs modernism? Modernism(jack) is missing something in his soul and postmodernism(tyler) fulfills it to the brim but is expedient and degenerative/anti-life, and you need a bit of both since they're like 2 opposite ends on a spectrum (akin to the political spectrum and how the right position to be isn't some fixed place but constantly changing and only obtainable through dialogue and truth-searching) as having only one of each isn't life-agreeing because they're missing an adhesive that can't be found by science (rationale) simply because science can't explain the entirety of one's experience, it only provides models for our empirical interpretations and completely neglects an entire other field in the dynamism of human life: emotion, morality, and consciousness (fun fact: neuroscience still knows nothing about consciousness, hence no human robots yet [look up the Frame Problem by Daniel Dennet]). In fact, just as our models of the world is nested inside a framework of science, our philosophy and reasoning for science is nested inside a framework of morality, a framework of foundation which the western world has left to decay (aka the framework of the Hero/Pioneer Story [which manifests most patriotically through the history of the Founding Fathers], which roughly only ever existed in America and nowhere else in any culture in history), an example of which many other eastern countries are hastily copying, such as the Japanese. This spiritual flaw of democracy/modernism is prolly what churchill partly meant in his famous quote abt democracy.

Postmodernism is influenced by Nietzsche's revision of good/evil, Marx's ideological superstructure, Gramsci's rejection of cultural hegemony.
Yes, among others.
