Didn't shoot it. If you read the description, you see this is from my Ethics class. We don't go through the entire Republic in a class where we also cover Aristotle, Bentham, Mill, Kant, and even a bit of Aquinas
I’m reading the republic on my own and these classes really help me cement all the ideas of the books and clear up some of the foggy ideas I might have, thanks for posting these ! ( I know these are 4+ years old but they’re still really helpful!)
After thinking I was going to fail my exam and my lecturer telling me I might just get a D, I ended up with a 92% in my Plato exam. I would put a lot of it down to these videos, so thank you!
@SSL824 Thanks very much for those compliments! I'm glad you like the videos, and my approach to the material. So, other philosophy profs don't have a good sense of humor? I must have gotten fairly lucky in mine, then -- I had a lot of profs who enjoyed playing around with the material, and having a laugh.
You have been a joy to watch, from Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, and now The Republic. I hope you have done all of Plato's works! You have so many playlists of philosophy. It's so much! I find myself feeling closer and closer with philosophy every time I listen to Plato and then your lectures. So I just wanted to let you know that you're awesome.
This is very interesting. I am a student at IVY Tech. I am fond of your students. Because they have demonstrated Courage! Speaking out, and not closing up. Seeking the truth, and meaning, to ideas, that no one can claim to know.
Yes, this batch was particularly good. it can be tough to get some classes to open up like that -- many of them have had the kind of K-12 education that involved shutting up (except when the teacher planned some "active learning") and getting ready for the inevitable standardized tests. I know Ivy Tech -- I used to teach in Indiana for Ball State
I grew up in a small town, before computers. As a member of a strict congregation I was not allowed to watch television, and or read books. Everyone saluted the flag, accept me because it was not allowed. I didnt get a chance to read books, other than school books until I was near nine. The town was so small, but everything we needed was either right their, or in the town next to us. We did not celebrate, and to this day, I have never had a birthday cake. Secretly, even though I am now forty years old, I long for one with candles. The surprise factor has to be there so its not really something I can do for myself. I find it hard to communicate with others, and most people think I judge them, but I am not that vain. At a young age I started work, and continued on to become a truck driver. I did that for 13 years, until one day I realized that I wasn’t happy. After my husband left me and moved back home to India to be with his first wife, I went back to school. And here I am. I plan on getting a dog, but I dont think I have the time to devote to it, and that would not be fair to get a dog, for reasons of my own. But yes, I am impressed that you taught at Ball State. Some people have had this privilege, to learn early on. I envied them, still do. Your videos are very enlightening. I enjoy you.
Currently reading Plato and looking I found this very helpful in clearing up questions and expanding on things. Philosophy is great to talk about but can be a tough and dry subject to follow.
I've been looking though my files, and for the life of me, I can't seem to find the handout I referenced! I'll be developing a number of new handouts this coming academic year, and I'll be posting them in a new website (under development at the moment). I'll make sure to post something about it in the channel feed
I suspect that many would. I've always been big on local banks and credit unions myself. Given the ring of Gyges, I think that my temptations would have less to do with wrongful acts concerning money and more to do with other types of wrong acts
@@gotterdammerung6088 Like I said, depends on the class. I often switch it up. You can always watch your way through the Plato videos in the channel if you want to get an idea
Well, I don't have them lined up for inclusion in any courses coming up next semester -- with the possible exception of Nietzsche. But, once the semester is finished, I'll be thinking about what other vids to produce, going beyond the teaching and conference vids. You know, I'd actually suggest skipping an Intro textbook and getting some good History of Philosophy works -- you've already got a foundation, and it's good to study great philosophers alongside insightful historians/philosophers
I hope it does help with that -- I'm getting more and more British students mentioning using these for A-level exams. Perhaps I ought to organize the videos into something like a resource page
Aha! Thanks. Couldn't remember the context. Comes from doing too many of these videos! Yep, in the story (as I remember it), she admitted it. I think I might have made it only a few minutes in St. Gerard's shoes!
Great job teaching, very interesting material. I think the class is too shy, afraid they may have a wrong answer embarrass themselves in front of their fellow peers. It's a tough class to teach but you do a great job.
Yeah. . . that's something we have to work with a lot with this generation of students. The K-12 people, required to "teach to the test" (and many of them, despite their protests, actually are all right with that!) have done quite a number on them
Yes, it's perfectly reasonable, I suppose to use anything for anything, if that's the point of what you're doing. It's also on another level unreasonable -- missing the very point of the thing
It's perfectly reasonable to go to a fancy French restaurant for the sole purpose of gaining power, if while there you are schmoozing someone *in* power.
Funny how you can pick up a book reread it after 30 years and see it with a different look . Now when there are building there city they decide to give there people limited information ..Is this not an injustice? This is like the limited information the Roman Catholic church gave us. Thank God for Nag Hammadi so we can see another great philosopher differently.
Is it unreasonable for a guy to likes to drink beer, eat Papa Johns pizza and watch ESPN to put on a suit and pay for a nice restaurant to impress a girl, even though he's bored out of his skull and would much rather be at Hooters? (Do Modern Girls expect that anymore?)
I love referencing lectures after reading or re-reading any great work. Fantastic job on your lectures. You keep the topic engaging.
Courtney Byles Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for putting these lectures up! This will probably ensure I pass my A level in Philosophy. It makes The Republic seems a lot less scary!
As a teacher of Plato (and also being from Chicago), I found these lectures very sound and quite fun!
Glad to read it!

The Republic. I hope you have done all of Plato's works!

That's very nice of you to say - but no, I've not done anywhere near the whole of Plato's works
Great stuff, reading Plato with these discussions makes it a lot more enjoyable !
Good!

@SSL824 I'm very glad to be compared to a prof of Sandel's stature. Thanks!
Taking a philosophy class in New York City....this is a great addition to my lecture. Thanks a lot!
Good to read! You're welcome

I haven't produced one. These are videos from my classes. We don't read the entire Republic in my Intro or Ethics classes
@@gotterdammerung6088 Depends on the class

Where's the video on The Republic book 3?
Thanks!

Is there a second part to this video?
No. Of course, you saw that massive Plato playlist that you can poke around in, since you watched the video to the end
In a sense, yes, and in another, perhaps not.
does plato's ideal city state still contemporary
mavhina rabelani No idea what you're saying here

Oh well. I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos, though, going back to the Critical Thinking series from Fayetteville State.
great video
