Socrates, Meno, and the Slave Boy (taken from Plato's Meno)

Socrates, Meno & the Slave boy - by Aaron Mathis (the following essay is for school - but I'd like to hear what you people think) Judging by what I’ve understood from the excerpt I read from Plato’s Meno, it seems to me that Socrates believed that the nature of knowledge should be understood in...

- big laughs coming from the Mathis department!

What a great moment!

The murdered dolphin was worth the disturbing feelings, for such feelings are the foundations of great wit.

Seriously, are you open to having any Gforum members participate on your podcast show?

I really think I could take the show in an interesting direction.

One episode is all I'm interested in being in, and we'll play it by ear from there.

Leyla, cloudy boisterous Nymphet! Why don't you give some thought to the following quotes by one of the greatest hero's of the age, David Quinn?

Ah, that's a good answer.

I don't think Diogones really did this though. I think many stories of diogones were written by some giddy, imaginitive stoics who had a penchant for droll parables.

funny or profound to me. Although I do like diogones. Perhaps the dishwater consciousness of mathis needs to be drained and replaced with some fresh water.

It is interesting to me that with the real identity of people hidden players begin to interact with one another based on the perceived characteristics of the player's character.

Awareness is a function of consciousness. Now consciousness requires memory. Therefore we can say with certainty that a memory itself cannot be aware, since it is only one of the causes of consciousness, and hence of awareness.
