Ryan bids his listeners farewell, departing with a final word. "This is what I am learning: I must abide in him that he might abide in me. I hope you have learned something too. I hope, like me, you’re striving to become something more. I hope we reach the same end. I hope that we wash up on the same shore….”About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan shifts to a personal evaluation of ancient Stoicism, offering some commendations and some corrections. "There’s a lot of practical wisdom and prudent advice in Stoicism, as long as we stay clear of some of the extremes—incorporating the recommendations of Epictetus into our lives in a nuanced and balanced manner.”About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

After briefly discussing Epicureanism, the moral philosophy of Epicurus, Ryan transitions to Aristotle’s moral philosophy—which is widely understood as a “character, or virtue, ethic.”
"One of the most intriguing and thought-provoking aspects of Aristotle’s ethics is the idea that morality, virtue, and happiness are solely based on acting, doing, living, and being. It is not enough to talk about morality or to think about morality; one must enact justice and embody the good. For Aristotle, talking about virtue doesn’t make you good; being virtuous makes you good.”

Ryan dips into Classical Greek ethics, beginning with a brief summary of Epicureanism, which is an ancient form of hedonism that emphasizes simplicity and moderation. "Epicurus was born on the Island of Samoa. He visited Athens as a teenager and briefly studied under a disciple of Plato. Years later, he would return to Athens, but this time not as a student, but rather as a teacher, quickly establishing a philosophy school at a local garden. He liked it so much that… he never left."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Fear of retribution, hope of rewards, or the power of love? Ryan talks about the only motivating factor and inspirational force in the universe worth living and dying for."...fear of punishment and hope of rewards are motivations and incentives for the immature, not the mature. They are what help children behave, but we must progress beyond childhood and move towards perfection, the perfection of love…."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

In the second part of a two-part podcast on "The Law of Love," Ryan argues that no one—neither Christians nor non-Christians—consistently and perfectly embodies the love that fulfills all law."...the love that fulfills the law, the love of God in Christ—self-sacrificial, edifying, and unconditional love—represents an immensely high standard, one that almost all people fail to reach. This standard, this love, like the law of old, becomes our judge. It scrutinizes our love. It shows us just how incredibly small and impotent our love is…."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan discusses the nature and character of the love that fulfills all law."True love, real love, the love that fulfills all law, is made up of three defining characteristics: selflessness, edification, and unconditionality."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan unpacks the contextual and nuanced ethic of Christ, which was centered on the values of the kingdom that he proclaimed."So much of Jesus’s ethical reasoning has to do with notions of priority and primacy, as moral judgments often involve a deliberation—choosing which principle or principles should be given ultimate primacy and priority above all others."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan talks about dreaded religious rules and much maligned divine precepts, taking a uniquely positive and optimistic approach to the law of God in the Judeo-Christian tradition."As I have said many times before, and as the ancient thinkers and classical philosophers also taught—not just in Israel but in Greece and in Rome as well—the moral life is the good life. The high character person is the happy person. The virtuous person is the blessed person. The mature person is the fulfilled person."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan explains why he believes that the moral life is the good life, that the spiritual life is the blessed life, and that the holy life is the happy life."Holiness and happiness, purity and pleasure, benevolence and blessedness, virtue and vivaciousness, faithfulness and fulfillment, jurisprudence and joy, character and contentment. What do these seemingly contradictory concepts have in common? What do these ideas—often pitted against each other, and often understood as being mutually exclusive—have to do with one another? Is this some kind of paradox? What relationship do these notions share? What does holiness have to do with happiness? What does purity have to do with pleasure?"About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan discusses the gods of the present age—envisaging the Western world as deeply religious, even if not in the traditional sense."Over the last few episodes, I have attempted to demolish the false gods and idols of our age. I have been in the process of a kind of deconstruction, but not the kind of deconstruction that has become popular today, not a deconstruction of classical religion, but a deconstruction of modern religion—which I suppose is both ancient and new at the same time."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan discusses the shortcomings of the wanton pursuit of pleasure, a pursuit that is often confused with the pursuit of happiness."What I will say is that pleasure is a good thing, but, like fortune and fame, it is easily abused and easily corrupted—especially when it is treated as an end in itself rather than as a means to or, in some cases, as a byproduct, or consequence, of the pursuit of a higher end."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan discusses the futility and vanity of the pursuit of popularity, a pursuit that is often confused with the pursuit of happiness.Like with money and wealth, instead of viewing fame as an end in itself, it should be used as a means to an end—particularly a means to the end of helping others. In this way, popularity and status can be used for good and can lead to virtue. When we use our influence for others, in a selfless manner, we will find a piece, a part, of that happiness that we so badly desire. Influence that is used as a concrete expression of love for neighbor becomes a means to true happiness, a happiness that is fulfilled, in part, in time and, in whole, in the eternity of God—the source and goal of all happiness.About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

Ryan discusses the pitfalls of the pursuit of wealth and riches, a pursuit that is often confused with the pursuit of happiness."The way in which we use our money and use our possessions makes all the difference in the world! Those who give, receive; sharing with others and living for others is inherently rewarding. There is a huge difference between the rich person who lives for others and the rich person who lives for himself. The former is fulfilled; the latter is empty. The former is truly rich—filled with joy, and peace, and contentment; the other—despite all of his wealth and abundance—is poor and left wanting."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

In today’s installment of The Weekly, Ryan invokes a peculiar theory from the French Enlightenment philosopher Rousseau in order to discuss the path to fulfillment and the way of contentment."Rousseau believed that this simple and humble way of life, this life without unnecessary ambitions, without exorbitant desires, without an inflated sense of what one really needs, was a life of tranquility and satisfaction—a life of fulfillment and happiness. I suppose one could sum this up by saying that, for Rousseau, happiness—at least in part—is a matter of perspective."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.

On today's Weekly episode, which is really the first full Weekly of the New Year, Ryan discusses the topic of modern convenience and contemporary ease of living."The ancient person doesn’t know what she doesn’t have, she doesn’t know what she can or could have; and so, it may very well be that she is happy with what she does have, even happier than she would be. In fact, she might be happier than I am…." About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.
