Is Socrates a Hero?
I think I see a lot of things as sacred, but we haven't yet talked about the idea of seeing a human being as sacred. And in some way, like having an individual that you can treat as sacred is emotionally more engaging than just having an abstract idea. You pursue Socrates for himself? I don't pursue him at all. He's sort of complex enough that he can engage your attention. But in a lot of ways, pretty simple enough that you can still treat him as sacred.
