Someone think of a ridiculous play and reference it for historical accuracy plz
Edit: watch out, Magical Mr. Mestopholes the cat might get you for speaking blasphemy about Socrates! |
The play was written by Plato, a student of Socrates... here goes - if you care enough to read it.
For the word which I will speak is not mine. I will refer you to a witness who is worthy of credit, and will tell you about my wisdom - whether I have any, and of what sort - and that witness shall be the God of Delphi. You must have known Chaerephon; he was early a friend of mine, and also a friend of yours, for he shared in the exile of the people, and returned with you. Well, Chaerephon, as you know, was very impetuous in all his doings, and he went to the Delphi and boldly asked the oracle to tell him whether - as I was saying, I must beg you not to interrupt - he asked the oracle to tell him whether there was any one wiser than I was, and the Pythian prophetess answered, that there was no man wiser. Chaerephon is dead himself; but his brother, who is in court, will confirm the truth of this story.
Why do I mention this? Because I am going to explain to you why I have such an evil name. When I heard the answer, I said to myself, What can the god mean? and what is the interpretation of this riddle? for I know I have no wisdom, small or great. What then can he mean when he says that I am the wisest of men? And yet he is a god, and can not lie; that would be against his nature. After long consideration, I at last thought of a method of trying the question. I reflected that if I could only find a man wiser than myself, that I might go to the god with a refuattion in my hand. I should say to him, "Here is a man who is wiser than I am; but you said that I was the wisest." Accordingly, I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom, and observed him - his name I need not mention; he was a politician whom I selected for examination - and the result was as follows: When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking that he was not really wise, although he was thought wise by many, and wiser still by himself; and I went and tried to explain to him that he thought himself wise, but was not really wise; and the consequence was that he hated me, and his enmity was shared by several who were present and heard me. So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not supposed that either of us knows anything really beautifuland good, I am better off than he is, - for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows. I neither know nor think that I know. In this latter particular, than, I seem to have slightly the advantage of him. |

All I was saying was that you need to expand the scope of your argument. Yes, Socrates most likely used his method at trial. However, the point is that he was there FOR disturbing the peace and for threatening the order. They would not have let him go out and do that which is was being tried for to prove that he was innocent of what he was...doing?
Plato wrote in the style of his teacher and himself. If you read his Republic he has conversations with himself and people passed away. It was a method of conveying ideology without worrying too much about historical accuracy. |

I read the Republic too. Of course the stuff Plato writes is going to be in his own tongue because Socrates NEVER wrote anything down. So Plato had to try to reenact the discussions that Socrates tought him about - whether they are accurate is not a debate Im gonna get into because I am no philosophy guru.
Also, the Oracle of Delphi is complete bullocks because the hills upon which these structures were built on emitted monoxide gases, which made the servants of god high, thus the illusion of a god speaking through you.
As far as him getting out, he had the opportunity to get out, but he chose to stay in the cave because he believed in his teachings and was willing to die for them, bringing forth the ingenius riddle. |

I've probably read as much philosophy as you guys.
I minored in it in college and read much throughout my leisure time.
however i choose to tell you all:

A number of things.
I got her a Christmas present before we got together, which she wears every day.
Planned an entire day around making her happy, copious amounts of yayo, champagne, massages and cooked her a fancy dinner.
Made an edited version of the badger badger flash animation with funny bits relating to us.
Got her a plush toy of said badger for Valentine's Day (plus some silk nightclothes).
Rampant Rabbit Deluxe.
Then there is the ongoing cheese I love like constant cuddles, hair stroking, and the best goddamn kisses in the world!! :D |
