#Aristotle made a distinction between three kinds of #friendship: utility-based, pleasure-based and character-based friendships. Each arises from what is valued in the friend: their usefulness, the pleasure of their company or their good character.

#NatFriedman was the CEO of #Github form 2018 to 2021. Before that he started and sold two companies - Ximian and Xamarin. He is also the founder of #AIGrant and CA YIMBY. Most recently he created, funded #VesuviusChallenge - $1M prize for reading an unopened #Herculaneum #scroll for the very first time. If we can uncover these #scrolls, we may be able to recover lost #gospels, forgotten #epics, and missing works of #Aristotle. #VesuviusChallenge : https://scrollprize.org/ #EpicurianTradition

"For #nature does nothing without #purpose," quotes #Aristotle. I wonder if this man in Hong Kong even noticed the purpose of nature above him.
How often do we miss the #beauty around us?

Suppose I shouldn't be surprised that internet search fails to return hits on **not** defending unacceptable arguments.

217 followers · 15 posts · Server hcommons.socialThis Friday, I am going to start #teaching a four-week #lecture series “Is mental conflict possible? Akrasia as a touchstone of ancient moral philosophies” at the Department of #Philosophy in #Oxford. The course covers treatments of #akrasia (weakness of will / lack of control / incontinence) in #AncientPhilosophy (Greek and Roman traditions), covering #Socrates, #Plato, #Aristotle, and (as always, if there is time) the #Stoics.
Question: what interesting treatments of this phenomenon in other philosophical traditions / the later #HistoryOfPhilosophy could I read up on to also mention to my students to more fully introduce and motivate the course?

Political Philosophy: I'm intrigued by John #Rawls, #Marx, and Betrand #Russell.
Personal Philosophy: #Aristotle's focus on habituation and its relationship to one's own character have been life changing for me. "Fake it until you make it" is the essence of my life.
