Plato does Aristophanes, with mixed results. Some madcap, zany philosophising by the two antilogician bros Euthydemus & Dionysodorus & Socrates adopting a confusedLarryDavid.gif vibe. Socrates is in search of true knowledge, but through the form of this comedic dialogue Plato shows how the sophistry of the Sophists clouds the attempts at true knowledge. It's clever, if a bit laboured at times. It's also a perfect encapsulation of social media.
Graywacke Are you reading through Plato? Fun review! 2y

batsy @Graywacke Not all of it this year I don't think, but I'm hoping to get through a significant portion 🙂 I'm trying to follow this guide because I want to become familiar with classical philosophy https://wutheringexpectations.blogspot.com/2023/01/please-read-greek-philosophy-... 2y

Graywacke @batsy the link is dangerous. I‘m still trying to hide from philosophy 🙂 (but you make Plato sound so fun) 2y
batsy @Graywacke He is! Fun and a lot of work, lol. I just approach it from a literary angle and think of his dialogues as plays so that I don't get intimidated by the content 🙃 2y
