Virtue Is Not Enough - J. Budziszewski The Catholic Culture Podcast

One of the best contemporary natural law philosophers, J. Budszizewski, joins the show to discuss his new book, How (and How Not) to Be Happy, spiritual warfare in the classroom, and his journey from “macho nihilism” to faith.
Topics include:
Why virtue alone won’t make you happy Why the Greeks said “Call no man happy until he is dead” A critique of the Stoic revival How belief in the afterlife allows us to be honest about suffering in this life Teaching secular students about natural law Breaking through people’s self-deception Budszizewski's youthful embrace of nihilism and how God broke down his intellectual pride Links
