Gregory B. Sadler - That Philosophy Guy

I bring philosophy into practice, making complex classic philosophical ideas accessible for a wide audience of professionals, students, and life-long learners. After a decade in traditional academic positions, I started my own business and began doing philosophical work in more practical contexts. I am an APPA-certified philosophical counselor, a public speaker, an author, an ethics trainer, and an executive coach (among other things!).

Years back, I wrote a paper digging deep into what Aristotle could teach us about social breakdown or faction (stasis) and the key and complex roles certain emotions play in that, in particular anger, hatred, and fear.
