        If you understood the doctrine of recollection, you would observe that your mind isn’t fit to hold the very structures of reason in view, as is innate in every functional mind. Unfortunately, because you can’t understand this, you can’t understand that you can’t understand. You are a cave dweller now and forevermore.

      Plato is against gay/pedo shit, read Laws. The Symposium is a shitpost written in a way where the participants are meant to look grotesque and degenerate.

      correct, this is what makes plato great, today he would be an analytic philosopher. unfortunately the anglophobes (and therefore grecophobes, since england is the successor of greece) on this board have co-opted him because he also happened to be interested in mysticism.

        Socrates gets two boys together in Lysis however. It really depends on the dialogue. Also in Laws it was Athenian Stranger not Socrates.

          You're misremembering your Plato. Socrates doesn't get two boys together, Lysis and Menexenus are already close friends. Socrates is *supposed* to be show Hippothales how to seduce Lysis, but note that Socrates only seduces Lysis to philosophy and it ends with Hippothales gettin' none.

            He resons that the boys image causing the other boy good feelings is enough of a reason to show they must be in love, much like a doctor administering medicine. This is gay enough for me to think he wasnt homophobic.

        People who try to do that in earnest will surely perish in unfortunate accidents, like with most ailments.
        In all honesty though, the real reason is: the vast majority of people have nothing worthy to add to such a discussion, and would only impede progress by throwing around random noise.

    "Such deeds accomplished by a man of justice and courage and temperance and philosophy would have produced in the multitude the same respect for virtue which, if Dionysius had listened to me, would have made its saving appearance, one may say, among all mankind. But now some daemon or avenging deity has fallen upon us, and through disrespect" has made anons hateful and cynical.
    Respect, my friend, is not just a one way street, respect flows out of you, together with all virtue, it is that overflowing that matters most.

    The great joy of Plato is that he isn't just telling you what he thinks outright, you need to discover it on your own, and by doing so you enlighten yourself and can argue with him from a common ground.

      Everyone here should read the intro to the Hackett book. He outright says it is wrong to just dogmatically repeat everything Socrates says or to take him at face value all the time. There's a whole thing on the stupidity of Neoplatonists in this regard.

        If you understood what it implies for an object to have a name, the obvious truth of the theory of forms would be immediately evident to you.

          An object being categorized does not imply a physical manifestation in a different realm, ya silly doof.

            Obviously because you don't know what that implies.

            It implies that a physical manifestation of a pure form of a rather arbitrary definition is highly unlikely.

            Whoa?!?? And other people, just, like RESPOND to the name?? And can even IDENTIFY the object behind the name on their own, something that occurs prior to any association with any name???!?!?!? That's so crazy! I wonder what explanation there could be for that.

            It is because of homologies in the structure of experience based on a synthesis of the manifold based on the pure categories of the understanding. Not any of this intelligible realm nonsense.
