that wasn't true of his student aristotle. that is true of plato. and it's important to to remember that that there is coherence. it's that that we're not just picking up a bunch of random facts just to do it. we're not going to school to fill our head with a bunch of random trivia in case we happen to be on jeopardy someday. but we're trying to figure out something about the truth. ultimate truth that will tell us about our communities and will tell us about things beyond our immediate perception and will tell us something about our souls and ourselves and what we're here to do. where you exposed to this canon at yale? a little bit. i don't want to yale too much. it's very, very mean thing to this one's alma mater. i think it was don kagan who was one of the great certainly not left wing philosophers. he was the great, great ancient greek historian who died only recently. and he had been the dean of yale college, i believe it was professor kagan, who said something to the effect of years ago, a student could graduate yale with an education, didn't

andersen: she married the notorious shipping magnate, aristotle onassis, and instantly the world turnedckie. they didn't think this was a fitting replacement for the martyred president, but she didn't care, because shshe said, "l"look, he's's got a 75-5-man securirite that can protect my children." [ camera shutter clicks ] thomas: she wanted to make them safe, and aristotle onassis had an island in greece that w was like a a fortress. it w was a safe e place. tuchman: people felt like john f. kennedy jr. was their little boy, and they watched him become a successful and nice young man.

but in ancient times... it was, of course, also noticed that the same, let’s say, i don’t know, aristotlethos, that is, passion in greek, but to describe both love and hatred, yes, that is, there is a certain passion, but how it will turn out, with what sign it will be, is another question, well, of course, happy, this is the ancient time, when the ancients simply formulated the first categories, the first concepts, it was important for them to simply define , what it is to introduce some kind of system, that is , it was important to understand how love differs from friendship, and for them, of course, love and friendship are primary, and hatred as the absence of love and friendship is secondary, this is a kind of absence, although it’s interesting who came up with this, why, if you say correctly, love and hatred are practically two sides of the same coin, who came up with the idea that love is something positive, and hatred, one side is more important than the other, and they came up with, well, i don’t know, on the other hand that but gyroclite, we all know this phrase, about what says

from there, colonialism, from there, what values, not only this, i want to remind you that aristotle, by many, glorified slavery , it’s true, he justified it, but this is all the basis of the western world, the western idea of ​​​​what is good and what is bad, here we’re like, no, no, what are you all saying, no, it’s not like that, at the same time, for some reason, our fathers and grandfathers knew that we had to drive the west away with foam, otherwise, don’t come here, but we suddenly, please come, here we go, maybe we can come to an agreement, okay? normal, right? now we are so surprised, it turns out that the united states is imposing the protection of american interests on the world, and they hide behind slogans about democracy, the notorious order, they are based on incomprehensible rules, understandable rules, these rules were formulated at one time. what’s good for ford is good for america and then it extends to everything around , but the essence is very simple, but the american doesn’t care about everyone else, but we think that no, no, well, wait, okay, they don’t care ab

this, if in the state, suddenly for some reason it comes to the conclusion about that, not like aristotlemore than the sum of its constituent elements, but that the constituent element is individuality, egoism is the most important thing in a state, if in a state there is nothing higher than state power itself, metaphysics, which would be based on religion, which you absolutely correctly said, the only thing that gives us the categories of good and evil, nothing else is capable of forming, at least such stable categories, if i formulate them now on tv , tomorrow some other scientist will come here and say that everything i said? well, it will be very difficult in this context, but if the state is deprived of all this, then a person in such a state will not is nothing more than an animal, and the state itself cannot be anything more than just an apparatus for coercing violence, our country for 100 years was the custodian of a tradition that allowed people, a variety of peoples, to multiply themselves, their own culture and traditions within this. disagree right away, they said the next day

i'm not you know, i'm not aristotle here explaining these things take place. they are taking place. and so this this party, as i say, at the end of the book, if we don't crush this party, it's going to crush us. if. mark a moment ago, you mentioned anti-semitism, which is a horribly timely mention, we here at the reagan foundation, we are very proud of the fact that we have special exhibit here at the reagan library called auschwitz not long ago, not far away, over 700 artifacts, 400 photos. you and your family went through this morning. and do you have any reflections on that? my wife crying through almost all of it as we went through horrific, crucially important tour. and i want to thank the reagan for doing this. i don't know, maybe god was looking down on us. he had this hair while was going on in the middle east, took place. but they haven't done this. you really need to do it. i always talk about the righteous gentiles. we -- are a tiny, tiny percentage of this country. we even a tiny percentage of the world. and for some reason, for some reason, there is this constant effort

we see here a break from some of lewis's favorite teachers, plato and aristotle. both those thinkers alike favored the collective over the individual. the public over the private. aristotle in particular defines political activity as an intrinsically natural part of human flourishing. lewis, on the other hand , saw political activity as only a means and often a tasteful one at that to genuine aspects of human flourishing, not an intrinsic part of flourishing itself. yet, even as only a means, collective activities are necessary. lewis recognized the appeal of technocratic government solutions to address our collective social problems. the temptation to invest government with more power, he noted, always works on a real need that has been neglected. lewis feared that legitimate human problems that require social coordination and collective act, the will give rise to solutions that are far worse than the original crisis is something we may have witnessed in the last few years. in his book, the conclusion to a science fiction trilogy, there is a conspiratorial govern

i'll just aristotle, god bless, whom is in han, eunice in the south of the gaza strip. he has the latest on israel's attacks on those hospitals as well as destroying old means of life in the north and in central areas of the strength of the ship. a hospital had been massively taxed at by the eyes where the occupation forces in different locations today as they are destroying and attacking the front gates of the main medical complex in the gaza strip. as patients and thousands of palestinians are still residing inside the yard of this hospital. meanwhile, these people are really right now trapped by the use video of the patient forces was patient in different uh, 6 is in circling the entire place as a no longer also be able to a move and deliver the entrances to bring different victims and wanted people from the areas of targeting indifference at different vicinities, in gaza strip as well. so people that also are really trapped on the r lackland food. as the policy minister philips books past stated that they are no longer be able to afford eating food for the people in

the negative consequences of drinking alcohol were noticed by the ancient greek scientist aristotle,d it voluntary madness. that is why historians say that the egyptians and romans put people on the table during a feast. the skull as a reminder of what alcohol can do to a person. during the middle ages in europe there was a real cult of alcohol. knights used it in large quantities in battles, and it was a sign of strength and courage. however, europe soon faced a problem. people drank too much, and by the end of the 18th century, attempts were made to limit drunkenness, and at the legislative level. for example, in 1736 in england... they passed a law according to which a tax must be paid for the purchase of strong alcoholic beverages. a little more than a century later, the first separate hospitals for treating alcoholics were opened there. in france such patients were admitted to psychiatric centers. in russia, alcohol has long been viewed negatively. in the 21st century, ordinary people could drink beer only four times a year on church holidays. yes , they could not afford other d

weee here a break from some of lewis's favorite teachers, plato and aristotle.lewis was a platonist. lewis was an artotelian, but both those thinkers alike favor the collective over the individual. the public over the private, and aristotle in particular defines a pitical activity as an intrinsically natural part of human flourishi. lewis, on the other hand, saw political activity as only a means and often a distaeful one at that. to genuine aects of human flourishing. not an intrinsic part of flourishing itself. yet even as only a means collective activities are necessary. and lewis recognized the apal of technocratic govement solutions to addre our collective social proems. the temation to invest government with more power, noted, always works oa real need. that has been neglected. lewis feared that legimate human problems that ruire social coordinatioand collective actity will give rise to solutions that are far worse than theriginal crisis, something we may ve witnessed in the last few years. in his bk that hideous streth, the conclusion to his science ficti

they're not strictly the descendants of aristotle either. they're a very different people.ent of people in the centuries from aristotle, the greek people today probably the best today are probably the best educated in the ancient, ancient greek history , more so than our greek history, more so than our own pupils. >> sadly , we and so of all the >> sadly, we and so of all the european peoples, the greeks are probably more aware of the importance of the parthenon marbles than than any other. >> but it's this idea of the people being greek. when are they under the ottoman rule? they i mean, it's like saying that the ancient britons are exactly the same as the people living in the uk today. they're not. there isn't that level of continuity. >> i'm not saying that they're exactly same, but saying exactly the same, but i'm saying they appreciation of the they have an appreciation of the marbles they're a symbol, marbles and they're a symbol, the of greece, but they're the soul of greece, but they're a different people from the ones who were there . who were there. >> 2500 years

that wasn't true of his student aristotle. that is true of plato and it's important to to remember that there is coherence that we're not just picking up a bunch of random facts just to do it. we're not going to school to fill our head with a bunch of random trivia in case we happen to be on jeopardy someday. but we're trying to figure out something about. the truth, ultimate truth will tell us about our communities and will tell us about things beyond our immediate perception and will tell us something about our souls and ourselves and what we're here to do. were you exposed to this canon at yale a bit. i don't want to this yale too much. it's very very mean thing to this one's mater. i think it was don kagan who was one of the great certainly not left wing philosophers. he was the great, great ancient historian who died only recently. and he had been the dean of yale, i believe it was professor kagan who said something to the effect of years ago, a student could graduate yale with an education, didn't have to have an educati

it says there are five elements again goes to aristotle. there's exposition, rising action, climax falling action. and while so the story with exposition of where are we, who are the protagonists who are the that we can care about what the place we can relate to the or the poor orphan with a funny scar living under the stairs or the peaceful countryside with a lovable, lovable hammett's story, lurie's in with a problem, a conflict, a mystery it makes you want to know what happens next. what happens when the visit wizard visits the orphan, when the wizard visits the habits and drags them away from home, then the storhas a central point when the main character has make a crucial decision, when uncovers the key piece of information and everything that you thought you kne changed, and that decision that information. the main moment has consequences. it matters. you know how it matters within the realm of the story, because we've given the set up about the first place in the first place back when the book began. so we know about the evil wizard

with mild anxiolytic drugs, but here the problem is, that we are all still under these the charm of aristotleing, and we still... believe that a person, a normal person thinks logically, no, this is not so, a normal person is illogical, and if we try to overtake a computer, in arithmetic, in mathematics, in constructing some complex equations, formulas, then we will obviously lose, then what is called artificial intelligence has nothing to do with it now to the intellect, it’s like this, such a marketing ploy is the problem with these projects, the idea is good, to create artificial intelligence, but the problem is in the implementation, the meaning of artificial intelligence and the power of human intelligence is that it quickly calculates, not that it can do ten-digit fractions there in the blink of a second, here we will never win against a computer, our strength is that we have consciousness and this thinking is, perhaps, the most important part of consciousness, which, uh, not a single computer and not a single neural network can reproduce yet, because that she thinks logically, but you

confirmation of this, if in the state suddenly for some reason ... comes to the conclusion that , not like aristotle that the constituent elements are individuality, egoism is the most important thing in the state, if in the state there is nothing higher than state power itself , metaphysics, which would be based on religion , which you quite correctly said, is the only one that gives us the categories of good and evil, nothing else is capable of anything else, at least such stable categories form, if i formulate them now on tv, tomorrow some other scientist will come here and say that everything i said was not true, we must go a different way, say the same in relation to moses or the prophets, well, it will be very difficult in this context, if the state is deprived of all this, then a person in such a state is nothing more than an animal, and the state itself cannot be anything more than just... an apparatus of coercive violence. our country has been the custodian of this tradition for 1.0 years, which allowed people, all different nations, to increase themselves, their own culture and traditions

and i think ultimately like aristotle said a democratic society needs to rest on the middle class. so i've always been comfortable with the idea of some element of popular -- populism in the republican party. and i think what's happened is we've had leaders who essentially have used that to gain power on both the left and the right, used that anger on the left and the right and inflamed it and we've been getting more and more polarized. but i think i would put the blame squarely on the left to getting the ball rolling here. talk about the debate, you know, the threat of free speech didn't come from the right, maybe from the left and was manifesting universities and all the usual ways of taking things off the table, things are off the table. and you know, if you're a catholic school teacher and the catholic school is teaching traditional doctrine about marriage, it's hate speech. all the terminology to stop debate and intimidate people, people couldn't get jobs and people said they're two genders, all of a sudden they're fired and that's a threat to the first amendment. and that kin

were just an extraordinary gift of intellectuals, if they had a question about locke or montas or aristotle, they would look to madison. hamilton. you just know they read this stuff in latin and greek. they knew what. but madison, the chief executive, not so much madison was our smallest president. five foot four, weighed about a buck so what they called him the great little madison. yeah, yeah. one joke about madison was given extraordinary intellect and diminutive stature was so much mind, so little. what they said about madison. a great intellect, but not a strong chief executive. he was around by the claes calhoun's, the southern frontier war hawks. so real. and i think i have the great honor of being one of that small group historians that they ask every two or three years to rank the presidents. we take that very seriously. i'm i'm in, you know, hallowed company, frankly. but always argued that madison is one of the most overrated presidents. i just don't think he deserves. i think quite honestly his sort of a little bit above rating is sort of a thank you for being such a great frame

i'm not aristotle explaining now these things take place, they are taking place. this party, as i say, at the end of the book, if we don't crush this party, it's going to crush us. it's -- [applause] >> mark, a moment ago you mentioned anti-semitism which is a horribly timely sentence. we here at the reagan foundation are very proud of the fact that we have a special exhibit at the reagan library auschwitz, long ago, not far away. with hundreds of photos. you and your family went through it this morning. do you have any reflections on that? >> my wife is crying through, she went through a horrific, but crucially important tour and i want to thank the reagan library for doing this. i don't know, maybe god was looking down on us. he had this, what was going on in the middle east, but if you haven't done this, you really need to. i always talk about the righteous gentile. we jews are a tiny, tiny percentage of country and a tinier percentage of the world and for some reason, for some reason there's this constant effort to exterminate us and it comes from these very e

if you go back and read plato and aristotle all, they say that good government depends on picking goodpeople to. be in high office and that'll always be case. you've got to gary hart on of these oversight committees is going to work. you' got some of the other people have been on these committees and the committees failed completely. so it's been up and down. and the bottom line is we have to work hard, to elect good people, to high office so you're turning this to the console that you elected earlier and not anymore. i'm an old gray guy. old gray horse. you know, if if democracy is going to rvive and thre, the 21st ctury, we to consider that one questioand someone's with which is you adopt the tactics of your opponents the last the church put afr talking about that was you will become more like them and we have over over the world an attack on demracy and you know, we have to have, again people look up to us as as the purveyors of of of a rl democratic order and that's going to take a lot of work and, like some good people to, nice on helping to create open secrets. ah, by the way. oh

aristotle once rhetoric as the ability to see in each particular case, all the available means of persuasion. and this description positions rhetoric as a radically contingent exercise, one that requires the orator to first identify by, and then to address the complexities of the political and the historical moment, while also attending to the overlapping and, often conflicting expectations of multiple audiences. no small task. but as i detailed in my recent book and other published work, some of the most important means of persuasion reagan deployed not just through his words, but through the images, the stories and the the people and the places he gestured to rhetorically. in so doing, he invited his to see themselves as participants in the narrative that he recounted. and in fact, i would go so far to argue that this invocation of images, bodies and places is what made him the great communicator. to be sure, his nguage was eloquent, moving and able to help members of the u.s. public see themselves as part of national narrative. he described, but it was also physical, tangible and material
