Finishing Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus! Why do smart people, like babies, stare at the finger rather than where it is pointing? And what does this have to do with talk of God and debating empirical data? Also, when should we be silent? https://t.co/KhhJ6dYBCd

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Discussion of propositions 5 & 6 from #Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus which has had tremendous influence on #philosophy & may be the most important book written last century. https://t.co/XKN0lhv2e3

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis talk Wittgenstein's Tractatus, propositions 3 and 4. https://t.co/w3yBUuFMnn

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

New! Joel and Travis talk Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - digging into the book in this episode, working through some of the difficult stuff, while helping you keep an eye on what Wittgenstein is aiming toward. https://t.co/KcJ7XN2OQ4

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

In this final episode, Travis tries to offer some thoughts on how #Christians should respond to #Nietzsche. He focuses primarily on how we deal with our desires, the nature of power, and questions of #identity. https://t.co/kHz7lUurxR

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis talk a bit of an overview of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality, with a little bit of Joel hinting that Travis doesn't care about people, and Travis hinting that we are perhaps all sociopaths. https://t.co/AkmZqVQnF5

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis discuss the third and final essay of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality. What does it mean that we would rather will nothing than not will at all and that wisdom loves tough guys? https://t.co/fsp4LiU6ap

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

While we've just returned, we're nevertheless taking a week off--partly to get those nasty final grades in. But next Wednesday, we'll have an episode on the third and last essay of #Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality--where Nietzsche really starts to get serious.

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis talk the second essay of Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morality." What does #Nietzsche think guilt/bad conscience is? What about #punishment, #justice, and #mercy? https://t.co/PwCmA6QUNn

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

There's good and bad and then there's #good and #evil-- One is strong, the other weak; one is active, the other passive; one is noble, and the other slavish; What in the world is #Nietzsche talking about? Where does #Christianity fit in here? https://t.co/VNNOJlrvao

[Joel Schwartz, Philosophical Stay-at-Home Dad @sahdschwartz]

In our ongoing attempts to be like Jesus, our podcast has been resurrected during Eastertide.

The fact that we're talking about Nietzsche might make our audience question about how well those ongoing attempts are going.

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

We're back! And we've begun a series on #Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality--a troubling and fascinating work. https://t.co/cq9o2hrdtL

WtW's own Travis had the honor of moderating this discussion between @roddreher and @PLeithart.

Travis also considered saying that the talk would be Drehery, but also Leitharted. After some threats, he decided not to, but has yet to repent of enjoying the pun.

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

We discuss the miracle of the Second Person of the Trinity become flesh. Everything from whether the Incarnation was only necessary because of sin to the nobility given humans to why it is that children are probably better at Christmas than we are. https://t.co/R3XrVmu2VR

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis continue talking about #Advent—specifically how the 2nd Advent (the return of Jesus and the revelation of him as Lord) affects our understanding of ourselves in history. https://t.co/Gl4BODnEnL

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

New! What do N.T. Wright, Kierkegaard, Advent, and Natural Theology have in common? #Christianity #faith #resurrection #advent #theology #kierkegaard https://t.co/7pIgazmZkD

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis talk everything from David Foster Wallace to Plato to the claim of 1 Timothy 6 that the love of money is the root of all evil in this last installment reflecting on Christian Miller's book "The Character Gap." https://t.co/SQ8vdso37Q

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

New episode: Considering questions about the nature of desire, desire fulfillment, and whether these have anything to do with flourishing. @CharacterGap @tacticalfaith https://t.co/M0uL4n3Km6

[Wandering Toward Wisdom @TowardWisdom]

Joel and Travis talk about @CharacterGap by Christian B. Miller. Why would anyone want to develop a good character? Does flourishing have anything to do with our desires being fulfilled? #character https://t.co/ZA2hvopkCC
