@platosfootnotes @zenahitz Busted. I at least have interesting footnotes on the problem ... though not as far as connected to the city business. Send me your email over DM and I shall send you what I have.

@zenahitz @mythwright thank you for the helpful suggestion! any idea where I might find his thoughts?

In the beginning of the Republic, why does Plato feel it is necessary to begin the dialogue with a discussion of Cephalus’ old age and lack of pleasures? What thread links this with justice or the city in speech?

@Cmchugh3567 Also do regions in Africa. Maybe reach out to @aciafricanews

This week I am doing a few episodes that look at the English speaking Catholic world. I have the English and American covered. Any suggestions for people to discuss Canada, Australia, or Ireland?

Academics, if your dissertation/thesis/research area was an area of magic, or a collection of magic spells, what kind of magic would it be?

@PatrickDeneen @KtHospitaller I'm all for true common good, but a necessary condition to x does not mean x is the telos. E.g., reason is a necessary condition for chess; that does not mean chess is reason's telos.

I have been chasing a toddler around a waterpark all day in a heat advisory and all I can say is that this better be cutting some time off of Purgatory. 💀

@AnikaFreeindeed "Told her what she needed to do" is ambiguous. He gives her a command, rather than explain, "What you need to do is to sin no more."

@yournerdyfriend "Plato’s Philebus has resisted exegetical consensus in several areas."
Tragically inelegant, but at least I get to keep my hat.

reply to this with the first sentence of your dissertation, if it doesn’t fit within the character limits your PhD gets revoked :)

I hate this. Any parent of an autistic child will tell you the simple truth: there is no "autism experience". Pretending there is is bad for kids on the spectrum.

@mythwright Do you mean what’s the classical term for what, say, is meant by equity here? Or do you mean what’s the classical term for what DEI people are getting at when they talk about equity?
David Decosimo@DavidDecosimo
This is a characteristic way of doing bad intellectual history & analysis & ignoring linguistic change entirely. Sadly, it also exemplifies a common way of distorting someone's claims to score points. The English 'equity' has a wide semantic range (home equity, equity courts). 1/

Funny how opposite this guys definition of equity is from the classical definition. Equity is not, classically, about consistency and treating like cases in like ways.
David Decosimo@DavidDecosimo
Justice sets relations right by rendering someone what's due. It has at least two aspects. 1. Equity is about consistency, like cases treated in like ways. So, *ALL* who do X are treated the same way. 2. Desert is about what *this* person is owed. She did X, so she deserves Y. 2/
