Alcuin, On Virtues And Vices - The Eight Capital Vices - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval monk, theologian, philosopher, and educator Alcuin of York's work, On Virtues and Vices.
Specifically it examines his discussions mainly in chapters 28, 29, and 30 which center on three of the capital or principal vices, namely gluttony, lust/fornication, and greed. He discusses what each of these are, what other vices or sins they lead to, and what remedies there are for them
