Since Ian has followed his passions by travelling to the Antarctic to befriend the penguins, special cohost Dr. Matthew Hoskin joins Dr. Wyatt Graham to discuss book 3 of The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius.
In this conversation, Graham and Hoskin explore the philosophical insights of Boethius, particularly focusing on the nature of true happiness and its relationship with God. They discuss how worldly pursuits such as wealth and power often lead to misery rather than fulfillment, emphasizing that true happiness is found in the divine. The dialogue delves into the concept of participation in the divine nature and how virtues contribute to a deeper understanding of happiness. Ultimately, they conclude that God is the unchanging source of goodness and happiness, and that true contentment comes from aligning oneself with this divine reality.
