In this episode we explore the intersections of philosophy, economics, and societal norms, guided by the insights of philosophers such as Molly Farneth, Hegel, Aristotle, and John Dewey, as well as contemporary thinkers like Benjamin Studebaker. We explore Studebaker's article "The Catholic Profit of Inequality" from Compact Magazine, examining its critique of wealth disparity from the early Christian era to the present day. Through this exploration, we engage with complex ideas about virtue, morality, societal habits, and the potential for reconciliation in our divided society.Links to article and Books: The Catholic Prophet of Inequality by Benjamin Studebaker Hegel’s Social Ethics by Molly Farneth The Politics of Ritual by Molly Farneth Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics (Revised)Topics: Hegel's Influence on Modern Society Aristotle's Virtue Ethics John Dewey's Emphasis on Habits Studebaker's Critique of Wealth Disparity The Role of Economic Conditions The Importance of Recognition and Reconciliation The Impact of Capitalization on Essential Aspects of Life The Role of Rituals in Society The Interplay of Economic Prosperity and Moral Flourishment The Potential of Pragmatism in Bridging DividesFurther Info: Contact: revivingvirtue@gmail.com Music by Jeffrey Anthony Bookshop page: https://bookshop.org/shop/RevivingVirtue
