..that beguilingly begins in domestic, festive comfiness.. as if a group of fascists got together to enjoy 4th or 14th of July celebrations while at the same time discussing ways and means to undermine the government.
>as if willful Spartan (general) ignorance was somehow preferable to the democratic chaos that nonetheless initiated whatever 'glory' that was Greece..
Fuck fascist 'certitude'.

Well, I'm not really so partisan one way or the other but The Republic has been read as a thinly disguised 'treatise' on Education by MANY through history, which in some sense it must be, as it supposably purports to cobble up the ideal state (from the Athenian means at hand). It's a good book. I was obsessed with it in my late teens and early twenties and probably read it 5x. But it's been over a decade since I've really thought about it, over a thousand books intervene, and so I'd have to look at my notes to REALLY get some kind of handle on it again in all honesty. My thinking just isn't there (or with Plato or even Aristotle) at the moment. Wish I could be of more help.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 28 08:23:01 2018 No.11226338 >>11226298 Just noticed the Hayek thread on 'central planning' (contra). Isn't the Republic a proto-instance of just that? Could be an intetesting line to pursue if one's interests are more political than literary..
