You can't call yourself a cultured, worth, proud or happy man if you haven't al least readed 5 Plato's dialogues. Fact.

>> No.451621

Plato wouldn't approve of passing off opinions as facts.

Plato was gay. FACT.

reading Plato's dialogues will turn YOU gay. FACT.

>> No.451756

In the original Greek, OP? Because, you know, if you don't learn all the ancient languages -- from Coptic to Latin -- you can't call yourself cultured, worthy, proud, or happy. I mean, could you imagine an intelligent person that didn't know Greek?

Read several of his dialogues and hate it

most of the ancient philosophers just spewed fantastical tales as philosophical beliefs. I want to study things that could have some truth in them...

in all seriousness, the only one that had me interested in what he was going to say next was crito, and that is because how much i hated his arguments in there. i've read all the early dialogue, and some of the mid and late ones in a class setting.
