The Truth is Defenseless | The Platonic Philosophy Series | Episode 4 (WiM205)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Platoon of Love
i get my ability to take that perspective on myself by first indwelling another's perspective on me and then internalizing it into myself. I think the aristotelian notion has some value, and i think the neal platonic account actually best intograte together. And i think it's actually, to my experience, closer to the phenomenology of love.
In this special edition series, I will be joined by multiple thinkers and philosophers to discuss Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy. This ongoing series of conversations will focus on the nature of goodness, truth, justice, freedom, beauty, reason, and love. My first guest in this series is the eminent cognitive scientist and philosopher John Vervaeke, and we examine D.C. Schindler's masterpiece "Plato's Critique of Impure Reason: On Goodness and Truth in the Republic."
