The Legendary Dragon Alephwyr, named Alephwyr, BA

A lot of people know my work from one area, and mistakenly assume that’s the team I’m on. I was a member of the Aquinas Translation Project for about a decade. Not a Thomist. I helped build and taught for a Marxist online school. Not a Marxist. You see where this is going 1/?

I’ve produced about 160 hours of commentary video on Hegel’s Phenomenology. Not a Hegelian. I edit Stoicism Today, have shot over 200 videos on Stoic thinkers and texts, given who knows how many interviews. Not a Stoic Shot even more videos on Aristotle. Not an Aristotelian 2/?

I get people thinking I’m on team Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Nietzsche, Kant, Kierkegaard, Hobbes, Hume and a lot more. I’m really an eclectic, more or less the kind Cicero was (and before someone wiki-chimes in and says “he was a skeptic”, they need to read some Cicero) 3/?

Not everyone needs to study multiple traditions, bring them into communication with each other, go deep into them. We don’t all have to be eclectically like that. Cicero did. MacIntyre did and does. So do many others I like and respect. found myself drawn down similar paths.
