    Bought Plato’s The Republic at Barnes and Noble not too long ago, and I’m so glad I have it as a penguins classics copy. Reading Plato’s dialogues is something that helps to enrich someone who isn’t an expert on philosophy, but is enthusiastic about philosophical concepts, questions, ideas, and how to apply or integrate it into my life.

    My philosophy professor, Peter Kreeft, launched his career writing dialogues for popular audiences. His most famous is titled “between heaven and hell,” but he also has a famous “Socrates meets _______” series.
    I highly recommend them

    @Parkernotes, you forget (no pun intended) Plato's epistemology was recollection not learning by discovering what is out in the world. 🙂

      @ParkerNotes  Місяць тому +2

      Hahah I know I know but that woulda killed my point. "Learn new 'opinions' but recall knowledge of the forms like an ancient philosopher" doesn't have the same ring to it 😅

    Hey there, loving the videos! What are your thoughts on transfering knowledge from notebook to notebook? I always buy new notebooks when New Year comes, and in december i look back at what i journaled and find lessons from it on how to improve. However, how do you distill knowledge from all the notebooks, i find it's scattered all over the place? What i mean is if you want to have one "golden" notebook with best-of knowledge that is most important and very close to your personal truth.
    My idea is doing this yearly, and every year distilling and condensing the knowledge i gather. What are your thoughts on this? Maybe a video on this soon?

    Against the view that Socrates is Plato's mouthpiece, see G. R. F. Ferrari: Plato the Writer

      @@ParkerNotes I've seen this one! It's well done as always. Re Unitarianism: To my memory, Ferrari does not really participate in the dispute between unitarians and developmentalists. Generally, his approach involves taking the dramatic features of the dialogues as more philosophically significant than most commentators do.

    Hi Parker! Do you have any recommendations on works by female philosophers? They seem so scarce in comparison to men.

    • @ParkerNotes
      @ParkerNotes  Місяць тому

      There are a ton of modern female philosophers in the analytic tradition but a lot of analytic philosophy is hard to read even for analytic philosophers. Elizabeth Ascomb is kind of a giant from the past century but she's definitely not the most fun to read. Stupid smart lady though.
