The Face of Wisdom: Meet Lady Philosophy

In this analog episode of Blind Techie Geek speaks, 21st-century media philosopher Kathleen Ann Masciana explores the meaning behind Lady Philosophy’s appearance in Book One of Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy.

Her appearance offers clues about the lessons ahead and prepares us for Boethius’s journey from sadness and confusion toward truth and understanding.

Aristotle: What Does “Being” Really Mean?

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, media philosopher Kathleen Masciana explores Aristotle’s idea that “being is meant in more than one way.” We look at how a person, their qualities, and their actions exist in different but connected ways—and what it means for something to depend on something else in order to exist. #Aristotle #Philosophy #Metaphysics

Aristotle’s “Being as Being”

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, media philosopher Kathleen Masciana explores Aristotle’s idea of “being as being,” which means studying something simply because it exists. Using the simple example of a tree, she explains that instead of asking how something grows or what it does, philosophy asks what it means for it to exist. This short episode makes Aristotle’s big idea easy to understand and shows how philosophy can begin with an ordinary question about the world around us. #Aristotle #Philosophy #BeingAsBeing

Beyond Appearances: Questioning Plato’s Theory of Forms

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, media philosopher Kathleen Masciana explores Plato’s theory of Forms and asks whether a perfect reality can truly explain our imperfect world. Through the example of a beautiful flower, Kathleen examines the puzzling connection between everyday objects and eternal ideals like Beauty, Justice, and Equality. She also introduces the Third Man Argument, a philosophical challenge that raises the possibility of an endless chain of Forms rather than a clear explanation. This episode invites listeners to question whether Plato’s search for truth beyond appearances solves a mystery—or creates another one. #BlindTechieGeekSpeaks #Philosophy

Virtue Takes Practice: Aristotle on Character
