Plato on Temperance

[@rudolphbripple6733]

Your videos have given me a great deal of illumination on the platonic dialogues. I know it’s not always apparent what happens once our efforts are out there in the ether, but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my go to teachers and are truly appreciated. Thank you for the good work.

Enjoyed the discussion and especially the background information as someone that didn't learn this in school

Love your work Professor, thank you for posting these in an anxiety-ridden-boredom period in time. Those term's seem paradoxical, unless you walk outside amongst the general public! lol

Thanks for your great work on KZbin. May you please add automatic subtitles in your old videos? Specifically, in the serie "Analytic Tradition". This will help me a lot.

Could you possibly go over the Companions In Guilt argument and the main objections to it ?

[@kylehiggins3097]

Is there a third video where he explores this more? What about the issue of temperance being beneficial and knowledge of good and evil being beneficial? What about the abrupt ending of this Dialogue? Anyone know a good breakdown from someone else?

[@kylehiggins3097]

Update for anyone confused in the future: His video "Plato on knowledge of knowledge" is the ending analysis. I had assumed this was about the Theaetetus.

@@kylehiggins3097 me too so I just looked past it, thank you.

How can temperance be aware of itself? This would suggest that temperance has an existence that is external to the perceiver. Temperance was just hanging about somewhere until someone tripped over it? Or, is this a metaphysical explanation? I'm sure that Freud would argue that being overly temperate leads directly to neurosis, but that's different argument. Thank you for doing this!
