Looking forward to dicussing justice and the law

Hi All,  looking forward to  our discussion of  justice and the law  and  the intellectual virtues today in class. 

Here's a lovely quote I got from philosophy works   today,


"The ideals which have lighted me on my way and
time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully,
have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . "


Albert Einstein
(1879 - 1955)
Theoretical physicist

Aristotle

Hi All,

I'm away this week  at a workshop for philosophy and yoga.  Believe it or not, it actually relates to  Aristotle.

Anyway, you are in David's  capable hands.  I'll keep up with you through your blogs and post some thoughts about Aristotle and yoga for you.

I will miss you.
