Plutarch, On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue - Progress In Our Dreams - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue This episode focuses specifically on his short but rich discussion about how we can tell whether or not we are making progress by looking at the contents of our dreams (or at what we perceive when we are ill). If we have not genuinely succeeded in making the virtues into habits, our dream lives are likely to reflect unvirtuous desires that we have been keeping in check in our waking lives.
