Tonight at 6 pm PT / 7 pm MT / 8 pm CT / 9 pm ET, I'll be webcasting my SnowCon 2011 <http://www.frontrangeobjectivism.com/snowcon/> lecture on "Cultivating Moral Character." (I screwed up the recording of the original, hence the need for the re-broadcast.) Here's the the abstract:
In his *Nicomachean Ethics*, Aristotle speaks of cultivating virtues by repeatedly doing certain actions in certain ways. However, he never clearly explains the relationship between a person's thoughts, emotions, actions, and character. So, we must ask: What is character? How is a person's character formed? And what is the role of character in a person's life? In this hour-plus webcast, I will draw on my dissertation to answer these criticial practical questions of ethics. The live audience in the text chat will be invited to participate in the discussion, as well as a question period at the end. So... if you've not yet registered for the SnowCon 2011 Webcast<http://www.olist.com/webcasts/2011-03-snowcon.html>, but you'd like to attend my webcast tonight (or download the audio recording), you need to purchase access to it.
