Hey everyone, I had to re-upload this video so if you don't see your previous comments, that's why. Feel free to add them again 🙌

Bought Plato’s The Republic at Barnes and Noble not too long ago, and I’m so glad I have it as a penguins classics copy. Reading Plato’s dialogues is something that helps to enrich someone who isn’t an expert on philosophy, but is enthusiastic about philosophical concepts, questions, ideas, and how to apply or integrate it into my life.

I’ve been on a journaling journey for the last year you’ve really helped me on my academic journey

[@ParkerNotes]

That's awesome! So glad you've benefited from my stuff 🤝🤝

[@stormchaser9738]

My philosophy professor, Peter Kreeft, launched his career writing dialogues for popular audiences. His most famous is titled “between heaven and hell,” but he also has a famous “Socrates meets _______” series. I highly recommend them

[@ParkerNotes]

I love his stuff!! Been reading him for years! I'd love to have him on my podcast actually!

Against the view that Socrates is Plato's mouthpiece, see G. R. F. Ferrari: Plato the Writer

[@CalBruin]

my professor

[@ParkerNotes]

Does he give a unitarian view of the Dialogues? I'm definitely intrigued

[@ParkerNotes]

[@SerfOnEarth]

@@ParkerNotes I've seen this one! It's well done as always. Re Unitarianism: To my memory, Ferrari does not really participate in the dispute between unitarians and developmentalists. Generally, his approach involves taking the dramatic features of the dialogues as more philosophically significant than most commentators do.

[@CalBruin]

@Parkernotes, you forget (no pun intended) Plato's epistemology was recollection not learning by discovering what is out in the world. 🙂

[@ParkerNotes]

Hahah I know I know but that woulda killed my point. "Learn new 'opinions' but recall knowledge of the forms like an ancient philosopher" doesn't have the same ring to it 😅

I like the viltrumite hoodie

Finally someone notices!! 🤝🤝🤝

Hey there, loving the videos! What are your thoughts on transfering knowledge from notebook to notebook? I always buy new notebooks when New Year comes, and in december i look back at what i journaled and find lessons from it on how to improve. However, how do you distill knowledge from all the notebooks, i find it's scattered all over the place? What i mean is if you want to have one "golden" notebook with best-of knowledge that is most important and very close to your personal truth. My idea is doing this yearly, and every year distilling and condensing the knowledge i gather. What are your thoughts on this? Maybe a video on this soon?

Hi parker , I'm an new subscriber of you love your work ..can you suggest me what to read as an begginer in Dostoevsky...

[@nurishgarayeva2886]

Hi Parker! Can you recommend some good KZbin channels about philosophy for a person that wants to know more about it?

[@ParkerNotes]

Have you seen my Parker's Pensées KZbin Channel?

[@jsar5409]

What happened to the previously uploaded video from a day ago?

[@ParkerNotes]

Had some miscommunication with my new ad agency and had to make it unlisted but it got sorted out but then when I made it public again, KZbin wasn't promoting it because it thought no body was watching it all that time it was unlisted so I decided to just re-upload it so KZbin would actually show it to my audience

[@jsar5409]

@ParkerNotes ah, understood. I thought i was going crazy haha. Thanks!

[@LifesHourglass]

noice another excuse to watch this videos again and learn what i missed in the first watch

[@ParkerNotes]

@@LifesHourglass 🙌🙌 thanks !!

Hi Parker! Do you have any recommendations on works by female philosophers? They seem so scarce in comparison to men.

[@ParkerNotes]

There are a ton of modern female philosophers in the analytic tradition but a lot of analytic philosophy is hard to read even for analytic philosophers. Elizabeth Ascomb is kind of a giant from the past century but she's definitely not the most fun to read. Stupid smart lady though.

@@ParkerNotes Thank you!
