Plutarch, On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue - Dealing With One’s Own Failings - Sadler’s Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue This episode focuses specifically on how we ought to deal with our own failings, mistakes, errors, and sins (hamartia), something that we will experience fairly frequently. He maintains that we ought to look at ourselves like those who are suffering from illnesses. We also ought to be willing to admit or confess our failings, rather than concealing them, or pretending they don't really matter.
