milod Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 XDem00nknight First, figure that there's an awful lot of irony involved in the dialogs - this one is full of such stuff. Given that's seldom taught at the high school level as it was in the olden days <grin>, yeah, I can see why it's a bit heavy. It's also rather important for modern thought in terms of defining not just "piety," but of all behaviors. How does one find the basis to define any sort of "good" or "bad" behavior? It's not this specific "dialog," but rather the process of finding a definition and category rather than just prating what one has decided fits a situation. Diego... Hey, keep taking the mandolin to school. Consider that to be your part in helping to educate others without having to officially be a teacher. It's a valuable thing for them even if their ignorance makes you feel a bit odd. Just smile and don't act "better than thou" and enjoy yourself! m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 XDem00nknight... I just closed my earlier comment on Plato but then thought immediately of this: Never forget Socrates in effect was given a choice of living in exile and ongoing disrepute or making a point of his own perspectives that were rather unpopular at his own time. It's my observation that a Socratic perspective of my own has apparently been found by some folks as uncomfortable as Socrates made his fellow Athenians. Luckily Duane just dumps the topic or comment rather than offering me the less comfortable choice of exile or hemlock. Most people have not been trained to be self-questioning nor broad in perspective of questions of philosophy - which devolve of course to discussions of more current stuff. In fact, logic tends to make them uncomfortable, especially if, as in Euthyphro, it exposes their explanation of the basis of their beliefs and activities as illogical and/or specifically a circular logic which is invalid by any definition. Oh - besides reading Plato's Apologia which may make Euthyphro more understandable, read Xenophon's somewhat simpler Apologia - and remember that Xenophon knew of Socrates the soldier and that consideration was inevitably part of his description of those last times of the "gadfly." EDIT: I just figure perhaps I should note that my Dad went from being Harley dealer to grad school and a masters in philosophy - so I was brought up with a strange combination of both fields from my earliest years of memory. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
