Description

The Plato list is intended to support thoughtful discussion about
the philosophy and the dialogues of Plato. This is one of the
lists hosted by The Free Lance Academy, whose main purpose is to
create opportunities for serious, committed intellectual inquiry
outside the university, primarily by means of online media such
as internet mailing lists. Although this list was originally
established for slow readings of particular dialogues, we have
found that it works better, once a reading of a particular
dialogue gets started, to create a special list of that reading,
rather than mix up a number of different discussions on the same
list. At this point (January, 2000) we have "plato-republic,"
"plato-parmenides" "plato-meno. Lists for other dialogues (or
Plato-related topics) will be created upon request. So this
Plato list should be reserved for more general discussion about
Plato which would not easily fit into a discussion of a single
dialogue. For a brief discussion of what I mean by "slow
reading," please see my essay at
http://freelance-academy.org/slowread.htm.


In the belief that the most effective way to learn something is
to teach it, another of the principal aims of The Free Lance
Academy is to provide opportunities for teaching, especially for
people who might not otherwise have such an opportunity. If you
would like to become a discussion leader of this list or any
other list hosted by The Free Lance Academy, please contact Lance
Fletcher, the President of The Free Lance Academy, at:
lrf@aya.yale.edu.

Plato on the Good
Quite interesting is Aristoxenus's account of what Aristotle told him about the content of Plato's lectures on the Good. These were not in the form of Socratic

Hello Christopher, Thank you. -- So there was a "publication" outside the Academy, and Plato's dialogues were even sold. Good. How shall we deal with "lies,"
