Great, thank you very much! I’ve never heard of Valla. Your characterising of his thought as focused on an outward expression of charity brings to mind Levinas’ concern for “the other” and perhaps his contention which I’ve heard to be that *ethics* is first philosophy.

I see the connection! You’re right!

Erdem. Lorenzo Aristo'nun karmaşık metafizik temellerini basite indirgeyip, daha sade ve net bir temele oturtuyor. Bu da erdemdir.

wonderful video thank you. Just some constructive feedback on lighting - you seem a little bit in the dark. And it's hard to read the text you overlay on the images.

Yes. I forgot to turn on my usual lights, and a cloud moved in to obscure the sunlight. 🙁

I think that virtue also requires finding balance between being charitable towards different people. For example, it’s good to help strangers in need, but it’s wrong to give so much money to unknown people that you don’t have enough money to support your family. Also parents ought to support their children, but they shouldn’t give them too much money and presents because they may become spoiled.

Prof. Bonevac -- do you have a recording of your "fragmentation of virtue" talk? Would you be willing to post it? I and probably many other viewers would love to listen to it.

I don't, but several of you have requested it, so I'm going to do a replay for KZfaq. I'll be posting it next week.
