The Karl Schudt Show

Ukuleles, Plato, Socrates, Aesop, talking animals, tyrants, and more! Perhaps Socrates talks about Aesop in the Phaedo because all along they were doing the same thing.

A continuation of a read-through and discussion of Benjamin Jowett's translation of Aristotle's Politics. Today we figure out if man is the political animal. I hope not! Also some complaints about wifi printers and eremetic longings.

In which I read through and comment on Aristotle's politics. Also a little Minecraft talk.

A rare theological episode on the concept of unceasing prayer, as commanded by St. Paul, found in the anonymous book "The Way of a Pilgrim."

A light-hearted variety show with space marine books that I have enjoyed. Also some theoretical considerations on what makes good pulp fiction good.

We work through carmen #5 by Catullus "Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus. . ." Then a couple of Shakespeare sonnets. I hope you like. Don't forget to go over to soulsteading.life!

I forgot to do the third proof from necessity in the previous episodes. Sorry! Also, a big announcement about a new venture, Soulsteading. Take a look!

in which we also talk about Paley's design argument, why you need arguments at all, and Immanuel Kant's objection to these sorts of proofs.

Proofs #1 and #2 from Aquinas' Summa Theologiae. Plus some Wallace Stevens poetry talk. You can find part one in Episode 9

We dive into Thomas' big book of theology for beginners, and set the groundwork to talk about his famous five proofs for the existence of God. Lots of thought grenades in this book.
