Can you fuckers tell me again why this hypocrite retard is relevant?
Never estructured his theory of forms
The Virgin Plato
>worships an atheistic, hentai-eque fat ugly man, his work consists primarily of fan-fiction about this man
>His alternative to belief in the Gods is belief in Ideal forms which we will never see because they have no being in reality
>absolutely seething over Aristophanes, carries his personal biases on poets over to his writing
>his most talented student completely BTFOs him, loves poets and the theater
>his autistic political treatise is never put into practice
>all of western philosophy consists of people dismantling his thought
The Chad Confucius
>admires an ideal statesmen and virtuous rule, but doesn't worship any god or man
>doesn't care about retard metaphysics, focuses on the practical
>patron of the arts and loved music
>his most talented student agrees with him and effortlessly defends his thought
>when his thoughts are put into practice they usher in golden ages
>all of eastern philosophy consists of people agreeing with him
The Republic is satire. It's meant as a pleb test, and you sir failed it horribly
People took him seriously at the time. So from Aristotle onwards most philosophers were engaged in tearing his thesis apart. We still haven’t entirely freed ourselves from his nefarious legacy, so I guess his contemporary relevance is due to our job not having finished yet.
Hated tradition
Thought men and women could be on the mental level
Against pedorasty
A pity how he’s been used all these centuries to prop up some failed rabbi
Brainlet take
I’ve always been suspicious of the republic or any of the dialogues that are not in dialogue form. Compare any of the dialogues with the ones where the narrator is Socrates himself. Its always felt very detached from the other works and kind of in appropriate
you forgot the part in which he says the soul exists because reasons
hey this is pretty base-
>sees trip
Oh, nevermind
incredibly blessed examples of why Plato is /ourguy/
cringe
Jesus...
I always found that to be his weakest argument
bump
>>WRITING THINGS DOWN MAKES U DUMBER AND FORGET THINGS LMAO
he was right about this one
>>WRITING THINGS DOWN MAKES U DUMBER AND FORGET THINGS LMAO
He's right though.
Had a history professor that said medieval peasants had phenomenal memories despite being illiterate. A peasant could invariably get high scores on an old test called "Numbering the rooms" The amazing memory goes away with writing and reading.
>what is Parmenides and Republic
>Can you fuckers tell me again why this hypocrite retard is relevant?
How about you read his books first?
locrian is bad
So you're saying that today we're actually dumber than medieval peasants?
>couldn't even rebate Parmenides in his own fucking book
This is an awful post regardless, but what the hell does this even mean?
>you sir
it's bait
I have, idiots, I'm studying in a phylosophy degree
No it isn't. Musical modes being inerently good or bad is a completely retarded opinion only an illiterate would have.
>phylosophy
Yeah I bet you are
>I'm studying in a phylosophy degree
>but what the hell does this even mean?
Most of the times in which Parmenides answered Socrates (in the book) he lefts him completely BTFO and has to do extremely hard mental gymnastics and some intellectual until today try to understand
Yes I do, having a problem with that?
>some intellectual until today try to understand
Forget that phrase if you want, my point is still fully intact
>Most of the times in which Parmenides answered Socrates (in the book) he lefts him completely BTFO and has to do extremely hard mental gymnastics and some intellectual until today try to understand
This sentence is way more confusing than anything in Parmenides.
Do you want to know how i know you haven't read Plato and that you're just a /pol/shitter?
Go ahead, show me. Not /pol/tard btw
>phylosophy
You don't see it, don't you?
*philosophy
Satisfied?
>Not /pol/tard btw
alright lol
That's a good start, now if you can get right the spelling of all the other words in Plato's books maybe you'll be qualified to make a point about his philosophy. But be careful, user, there's a lot of words in there
You're good in the irony but any of you haven't answered to my points yet
>You're good in the irony
>virgin Confucius
>Chad Laozi
It's because you put them forward with the elegance of someone who slams their dick on the table in a library and screams that it's big
