Deeply underrated channel

Better and better content with each iteration! Great explanation of reframing as antidote to voluntarism. Aristotle was right all along. The end comes first and intrinsic aims shape us more deeply than extrinsic outcomes. Family bonds. Do it for the team! Huge implications for overcoming an individualist perspective on mindfulness!

We agree, thanks for your comment!! :)

With your Master and your proposals you have helped me quite a lot to get rid of psychiatrists, pills and wrong spiritual direction, a bit late unfortunately but anyway a wonderful gift! I find this post magnificent! "So according to Aristotle, the excellence of character and that of intelligence cannot be separated. Here Aristotle expresses a conception of the world that typically contrasts with that which predominates in the modern world. The modern conception is expressed, at a certain level, in clichés such as: "be good, sweet girl, and leave intelligence to those who want it", and to another in profound thoughts such as Kant's distinction between the good will, the possession of which alone is a necessary and sufficient condition of moral value , and what in his opinion is a completely distinct natural gift, knowing how to apply general rules to particular cases: a gift whose lack is defined as stupidity. Thus for Kant one can be both good and stupid; stupidity of a certain type excludes goodness. Furthermore, authentic practical intelligence in turn requires knowledge of the good, indeed, it itself requires a certain type of goodness on the part of those who possess it: "... it is evident that it is impossible let him who is not good be wise" (1144a37). Alasdair MacIntyre, After virtue, chapter 12.
