5) Plato's "Euthyphro" part I 

what semester is that?

Is Croatia found of Philosophy

@@jackdarby2168 what??

He leaves the door open to new ideas. A serious answer might be that the door is locked, but he allows everyone access in and out. It could be many possible reasons: air circulation, listening to the hallway, someone asked him to keep it open, or he wants people to feel open, comfortable and relaxed. Dunno man.

One of the fun things that comes with recording one's own lectures, is learning about all the weird little subconcious tics one has. The whole closing the door but not all the way thing is not something I realized I did until people on youtube pointed it out to me. If I had to put together a _post hoc_ rational reconstruction, it's that there was probably some noise in the hall, so I wanted to shut the door. But sometimes these classroom doors lock when you close them, and I don't want anyone who was late, or who ducked out to go the the RR to be locked out. So maybe this is the meaning? Or maybe it's just some weird thing I do for no good reason.

@@adamrosenfeld9384 As a person who does such things on the regular basis, I just find it, somewhat, delightful, to know that I am probably not so crazy. And, yeah, thank you for your vids from all those 17 yo philosophy-enthusiasts such as myself, really appreciate what you are doing.

@@UNaMon Criticism of pedagogy and tone is hardly ad hominem. I could care less about the the prof personally. As far as I'm concerned the school that writes his check encourages such spectacle

@Grandis Cogitare Had just finished reading the text and was looking for someone to provoke thought. As Plato teaches us sometimes we must turn around after the fact to understand what what we were doing. And I'd call it disappointed more than serious. I didn't know it was going to a "clown show"

@Grandis Cogitare Perhaps. By all means cite in the lecture where you believe my "limited capacity" is most obvious and likewise where the "complex information" is. (I'm sure with your enormous capacity you effortlessly see the irony that were there "complex info" my criticism would become stronger.)

@Grandis Cogitare Is that Descartes? If it is perhaps a better question for you to ask, if you wish to maintain a criticism, is what habits of mind I might be referring to or, ultimately, why teach Plato at all?

​@Grandis Cogitare lol . a simple "yes that is descartes" would've sufficed. All you've done is push the problem back to "why study philosophy at all?". Furthermore, Plato, and Aristotle, were comprehended just fine for centuries without the thing you deem necessary. It seems that in order to affirm your view philosophy must first be rejected in and footnoted to history. Lastly, I'm not sure efficiency is the right approach. It encourages categorizing and instrumental uses of reason when there is far more to be learned and discovered in the text. Again, I am not criticizing the profs personal character that would called ad hominem unless you've, with your high capacity mind no doubt, expanded the definition to everything anyone does whereby the prof could be masturbating and any criticism would be deemed ad hominem. None of what I stated is "to the man" but, again, to the approach which is content and methodological. I even made a concession that perhaps his lively hood is at stake and he is being paid to teach this exact class.
