Thank you for another interesting video, professor Bonevac!!!

It reminds me of Plato’s view articulated in “Republic” that people’s vices are results of the overestimation of secondary Goods and the underestimation of more important ones.

Very interesting. I wasn't familiar with this theory. this is SO relevant to our daily lives. Nobody in my life understands how practical Philosophy can be. for me, this is like a CBT session :)
I wish you'd upload an even wider review with various theories compared to the classic Aristotleian approach on this matter. thanks so much for your work and a big hug from Israel 🩷🏝️❤️

What book are you getting this information from, professor? I will have to get myself a copy.

[@PhiloofAlexandria]

A good place to start is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Valla.

What makes you think that professor Bonevac used AI to create this video?
