The Laughing Philosopher's Podcast

Life is complicated. It is afflicted with more big questions than big answers. As one is tested by the suffering and irrationality of life, the questions become more compelling and imperative, and the answers become more urgent and necessary in order to be a good person and to live a happy life. What does it mean to be a good person? What is a happy life? What is love? Who am I before I was told who I am? Why haven’t I found myself yet? Why do I have regrets? Is the world just? Everything seems to have been figured out, except how to live. In this podcast, we will ask and answer the hard questions, and we will question the simple answers, the answers you’ve been told to believe almost from the moment of birth. Think for yourself. There is no feeling like it, and it really is the only good fight left. You may not be rewarded for your wisdom, but you will be rewarded by your wisdom. “The Laughing Philosopher” is Robert M. Khoury, Ph.D., a scholar and writer with a lifetime of teaching and learning at the intersection of sociology and philosophy.

Socrates’ Path to Virtue: Ten Footsteps to Good Character

Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle all believed that what you are matters far more than what you have. Good character is your most precious possession. In this episode, we dig deep into the ten unmistakable qualities of a person with good character, guided by the timeless wisdom of philosophy’s greatest minds. Socrates teaches that an examined life is paramount as we reflect on the kind of person we are and aspire to be. Plato teaches that true happiness comes not from pleasure but from living in harmony with the soul’s virtues. And Aristotle? He teaches that we become what we repeatedly do. So excellence and moral greatness are built on ten virtues we can practice and good character is not an action, but a habit we can form. If you’ve ever wondered how to recognize real virtue in a world obsessed with image, or how to build a life that’s not just successful but the right path to becoming a good person, this episode is your blueprint.
