It&#39;s our route to God, to real Being. Mark, Wes, and Dylan also discuss time, language, knowledge, the existence of e...

The question is not &quot;&quot;What is virtue?&quot;&quot; because knowing what virtue is isn&#39;t enough. The problem, for Aurelius Augustinus, aka St. Augustine of Hippo, is doing what you know to be right. However, we shouldn&#39;t expect our capacity to know to be operating well unless we&#39;re already oriented correctly, which for Augustine means toward God. Yes, God created al...
