How to Be Good: Seeking Virtue with Massimo Pigliucci
About this episode
How can we be more virtuous? Can we teach our children virtue? And what about politicians?
Well, the latter is probably the most difficult, but continuing our current cycle of cynicism isn't exactly helping us out either... So what can we *actually* do to make a better society for ourselves... and for the next generation?
Today’s Classical Wisdom Speaks podcast is with Massimo Pigliucci, the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York and author of many books, including "How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life"... and most recently, “How to Be Good: What Socrates Can Teach Us About the Art of Living Well”
