2018-04-13 NSFRI - Plato - Greater Hippias - Hippias as Pre-Test for Dialectic: Replacing Beauty with Wealth in the Dialogue
{ 20180413NSFRI }
Dialogue(s): greater-hippiasPierre starts out by asking us: "What is the result of this dreamwork? For it follows a way of reasoning, opens new possibilities, and awakens the mind --" It is a certain kind of dialectic, etc.(Pierre had just finished exploring four dreams with us, earlier that same evening.)Hellenic culture valued dialectic, dialogue, and understanding. Our USA / Euro / modern culture values rhetoric.What do we mean by 'wealth'?What is the effect on the person who is wealthy in each of two (very different) ways?For next week: Read through the Greater Hippias, both as it is, and also by substituting 'wealth' for 'beauty'.More info: noeticsociety.org and our archive, the Pierre Grimes and the Noetic Society collection here on archive.org.

What a treasure. Can’t believe how few views this has. Guess everybody is watching the news instead.

You should make short presentations from these lectures, make animations like on yt channells like School of life etc.
