What is philosophy? Is it a certain kind of expertise? In what? Is it the attempt to know everything? Is it akin to mathematics, or what? Is it even noble to philosophize, as some believe? Or is philosophy merely a useless waste of time for unathletic, impractical eggheads with nothing better to do?
We have all heard of Plato's Republic. And there are other well known Platonic dialogues, like the Apology, Crito, Meno, and Symposium.
But Plato's shorter, lesser known, "forgotten" Socratic dialogues are also a treasure trove.
In this course, you will dive into Plato's Lovers, a dialogue on philosophy that inquires into what philosophy is and isn't.
Millerman walks you through Plato's Lovers in this recorded seminar. This engaging Platonic dialogue helps clarify what philosophy and the life devoted to it are all about. Includes a nice debate between a jock and a nerd.
