I bring philosophy into practice, making complex classic philosophical ideas accessible for a wide audience of professionals, students, and life-long learners. After a decade in traditional academic positions, I started my own business and began doing philosophical work in more practical contexts. I am an APPA-certified philosophical counselor, a public speaker, an author, an ethics trainer, and an executive coach (among other things!).

Video Description
Support my work here - https://www.patreon.com/sadler Philosophy tutorials - https://reasonio.wordpress.com/tutorials/ In this lecture/discussion session from my Fall 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we begin our study of St. Augustine's work, The Confessions. In this particular session, I discuss why we are studying the work, lead the class into thinking about the range of desires and loves Augustine experiences and tells us about, and briefly sketch out his early life. We then discuss some of the rudiments of his moral theory, and focus on two important incidents -- the theft of the pears in book 2 and the death of his close friend in book 4
