This book is about gay men trying to seduce each other.

Somehow this was in the western canon for hundreds of years and almost nobody took it seriously as advocating for fascism. Everyone thinks Plato was just being ironic. Or, I guess, they didn't read it

I got Symposium and The Republic for $1 each, but they're old Penguin prints from the 60s, and pretty gross. Sides of the pages and the cover are stained

I just graduated college and have to make a decision on what to do with the rest of my life (or at least pick a direction for the next 5 years). I'm lucky enough to have a degree (if a lame one) and no debt, so I don't want to fuck this up.

What books can help me with this? I'm starting with the republic, so far it seems pretty good, what with the arguments on whether being just or not is actually the good life.

Do you this book was an influence on The New Testament?

What do you think about Book III of The Republic, /lit/? Are the administrative leaders truly setting up a test for future rulers in the society they lead? Should wealth and corruption be disdained, or even defined?
