This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Republic, in particular book 10. Specifically it examines his discussion about ideas or forms, material things, and artistic reproductions, and the three sorts of makers - God, craftsmen, and artists. As we move from the idea or form into the imitations of material objects and artistic productions, we leave behind simplicity for multiplicity, and true being for a facsimile.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the fantasy and science fiction author N.K. Jemisin's short story The Ones Who Stay And Fight, found in her work How Long Til Black Future Month? This story is a response to and homage about Ursula K Leguin's short story Those Who Walk Away From Omelas, and attempts to present a picture of and justification for a utopian civilization. One interesting feature of the story is that Jemisin addresses an outraged and angry interlocutor from our society who considers inequality and difference to be naturally interconnected. The utopian society of Um-Helat has people, "social workers" who protect it from the contamination of evil mindsets and actions coming from our world.

Alasdair MacIntyre, 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist discusses the inadequacy of shared public morality and virtues. He highlights the lack of coherent understanding of virtues and the reliance on superficial moral rhetoric. The podcast explores moral dilemmas in military and commercial scenarios, emphasizing the limitations of indeterminate conceptions of virtue.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "How To Seem Virtuous Without Actually Being So". It focuses upon how two substantive moral approaches, Aristotelian and Humean, differ from each other. He also admits to "begging the question" in taking an Aristotelian approach, but argues that there is no position one can take that is not question-begging in that manner.
