ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do we lead a good life? What is the best thing to do? How do we help our children acquire well-anchored habits for the good in the full spectrum of their actions? In this talk to Hawthorn dads, school chaplain Fr. Eric Nicolai offers some reflections on the importance and application of virtue ethics, a cornerstone of Hawthorn education, and particularly on the virtue of prudence. He explores how, with counsel, judgement, and practice, we can thoughtfully recognize and nimbly take up our best course of action, in faith, exercising flexibility and humility to correct ourselves when necessary in daily life.
