Plutarch, On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue - Consistency As Progress - Sadler's Lectures
Jul 18, 2025
11:52
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue
This episode focuses specifically on how we can use consistency as a sign and also a means of making moral progress. He argues that we are either making progress or falling back, so this means that we need to keep choosing to commit to a life of virtue, and that we need to maintain discipline and training.
