Plato's Gorgias: What’s Wrong with The Life of Pleasure?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2020
- In the second half of Plato's Gorgias Socrates discusses the Life of Pleasure with a man named Callicles. Here Dr. Andrew Moore (Associate Professor of Great Books at St. Thomas University) examines the key turns in the argument. Callicles is convinced that human happiness means the unending satisfaction of human desires. Socrates challenges this idea with a number of arresting and sometimes comical images.

Lol same Mitch.
I am loving these. Great mix of humor + content.
Second video of yours I’ve watched. This really helped me synthesize what I read. It’s always fantastic to find a thoughtful teacher/presenter.
Glad you’re enjoying them. I’ve got another one on Plato’s Crito that, imo, is much better. 😁
