'...biography, psychology (see another thread about that)' Where ? Plato's bio and psych or generally speaking ? Again, I hadn't realised that Plato w...
Yes. I knew Plato was unique but didn't really appreciate what it was about the Dialogues that made them so fascinating and rewarding. I have always b...
Glad you returned. I had kept your post in mind as something I needed to get back to. But you weren't to know that. Good question - for any world. Are...
Yes. Good to clarify. Plato can be interpreted by those who see only what they want to see. No wonder the guy is so popular and everlasting... Arousin...
Thought I'd return to this. The phrase 'man is the measure of all things' was familiar but memory failed me yet again. I thought perhaps Shakespeare. ...
Yes. Dwelling too much in the past, especially after loss and dealing with grief. Regrets or anger of previous behaviour/actions by self/others. What ...
I don't know that they were 'dutifully imitated'. Why would you think so ? Again, I don't know enough about the authors of the gospels. I do seem to r...

Yes, I did understand that it was the basic assumption and condition of the argument not the conclusion Perhaps I need to clarify. I meant I can't gra...
I skipped over this earlier - not paying attention to the second part. What did you mean by 'this sort of thing' ? Stories within a story showing diff...
Yes. For me, this exposure to argument is the crux of the matter, no matter what particular religious belief or philosophical stance you take. As @"Fo...
That makes sense. To consider on a case-by-case basis. Good to know. In the event I ever swear at the mods - tell y'all to fuck off - and get banned. ...
OK. Understood. So, no pardon or parole then...not even after a necessary period of reflection, reconsideration and change of attitude or past behavio...
Re: Unbanning members I think that has been done before, hasn't it ? As to reconciliation, it's been a while since that episode, even prisoners are gi...
For newcomers, rather than a 'Shoutbox' or a 'Symposium' as the first thing you see, I think it would foster a better sense of community and encourage...
Thanks for more about the issue of 'suicide'. I am still pondering... Yes, that might be helpful. As you know, I am not a complete 'beginner'. However...
Thanks @"Fooloso4" for providing this commentary and replying to comments/questions. I have no particular fondness for Plato - he gives me such a hard...

Ah OK. Understood. The 'Shoutbox' seems to provide a sense of social connection for some. A way to feel close. For others, not so much... A 'Symposium...
