Confucius & Plato Explain How We Should Live in Short Animated Clips

Here are two terrific short animated clips from two ancient philosophers on how we should live our lives.

Both come from BBC Radio 4 and  Open University. Aidan Turner, who played a part in The Hobibit films,  narrates the clips.

Confucius reminds us why we should revere our ancestors and understand out place in the family.  Plato reminds us that expertise is more important in running a society than democracy.
