I just posted a new podcast -- as compensation for the Sunday morning Philosophy in Action Radio that I missed in October. Its a lecture from 2011 on the cultivation of character. Heres the description: In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle speaks of cultivating virtues by repeatedly doing certain actions in certain ways. However, he never clearly explains the relationship between a persons thoughts, emotions, actions, and character. So, we must ask: What is character? How is a persons character formed? And what is the role of character in a persons life? This lecture draws on my dissertation, now published as Responsibility & Luck: A Defense of Praise and Blame, to answer these criticial practical questions of ethics. This lecture was originally given at SnowCon in March 2011, then re-recorded in April 2011. Stream or download it here: philosophyinaction/podcasts/2014-11-19.html
