The "Reason" for the Season - The Grinch Who Stole Christmas Part 2

December 23, 2022 • Tiny Table Studios • Season 1 • Episode 10

Christmas just got greener, MEAN-er, and much, much happier! TWICE!!!
Part 2 of the guys' conversation around Dr Seuss' The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, through the lens of Aristotle!

We explore the motif of humanity's rise from animality to reason, outer transformation through inner revolution, and the singing of Whovian carols!!!!! (ok, scratch that last one...)

As the Grinch reasons, he becomes virtuous, and upon becoming virtuous he is empowered to do good to others and is restored into a beneficial community with his neighbors.

So what do we make of this? Can we reason our way into a moral life, and thus a better life? Should this be on my New Years Resolution list?
