Plato's Republic, Politics and Ethics

In this lecture, Christina Hendricks discusses the historical and political background to Plato's Republic, as well as the political structure of the kallipolis and its connection to the structure of the soul or psyche, for Plato. Unfortunately, the lecturer forgot to turn on the microphone after the break in the middle of the lecture, and so there is some audio missing in the middle.

Sadly, from about 54 - 105 minutes there's no audio. That's too bad because the lecture was really enjoyable otherwise.

Oh right--I forgot that that happened. I am the one who did this lecture, and I forgot to turn the mic back on after the break in the lecture until someone came to remind me. I'm so sorry about that!

Oh, well thank-you for posting your lecture on-line. I thought it was great and it was a really enjoyable introduction to Plato's Republic.
I'm sure in a couple years Google will teach its computers to lip-read, and to create authentic-sounding synthetic voices from sample material. We'll all still have to spend half the time putting a USB connector in upside-down, however.
