🙏 I’m happy to hear your appreciation. All the thanks belongs to Plato and the Good though. I’m just a servant. Enjoy the book, and I’m glad you found it!
Thank you for this series. I have always wanted to take the time to read these classics but having them read to me means my hands are free to do other things. This first one is a perfect illustration on how to put an arrogant fool in his place!
Hey Lewis how are you? Just wanted to say you're one of my favorite channels so far. You put the text on screen for us to follow which is a great bonus! Thank you 🙂
I’m very well! Glad you are enjoying the channel. Have you seen my other one where I read books live? Here it is, there are many other books there: youtube.com/@bookclub5291
Great read and thank you so so much Lewis. But I did not see this in my complete works of Plato. Initially I thought it is the same with Epinomis. May be mine is not complete
@@lewiskirk8289 Knowing nothing of course when I first studied this fifty-three years ago, I attributed your "concepts" to Plato, and the integrity, the goodness, to Socrates. Unlike the Gospels, written centuries after the events occurred (or didn't), I assumed Apology had to resemble somewhat the conversations that had occurred, if not that day, on that topic. For example, the Socrates created in a young girls' head would have never have disparaged theatre (even just to make a point), I remember arguing heatedly at 15/16 for a distinction I had entirely invented.
@@lewiskirk8289 I hope you do!!! I put philosophy on pause for a little while, i'm prepping a huge psychotherapy video playlist at the moment (for rus channel), so i probably wont start again with philosophy until at least a year from now. I just want to have everything ready, so when time for philosophy will come I will dive fully into it
I haven’t produced those yet. There are a handful of dialogues I still need to do. I would also like to read the Republic, live over on my other channel, Book Club.
@@lewiskirk8289 I am now interested in other dialogues, I have come to the conclusion it was only an emotional desire not fueled by logic. However I have started listening to another dialogue. I am wondering whether this action I want to do shall cause harm or not. The bigger question is why I'm thinking about this as a 15 year old. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
38:00 some answers to questions can be known for certain and others can be known without any doubt (where it makes no sense to speak of a doubt: cf. LW’s Blue Book/On Certainty)
Homosexuality didn't exist in the past. It's a modern concept. But was there same sex love or same sex sex? Of course. All animals including humans, that are sexually dimorphic have same sex partnerships.
Exactly! It is a very contemporary and simplified way of phrasing the matter, but it is a solidly correct conclusion I believe. Anyone who tells you homosexuals are not a critical part of the western canon is either misguided in their knowlege or misleading to serve an ahistorical agenda or both.
