I genuinely appreciate you having these videos, I struggle a lot with looking at or reading a screen for long periods of time but being able to listen to it makes my life so much easier and I can’t say home much this helps me

[@lewiskirk8289]

Really happy to hear that it has helped you. I believe that this is the best way to take in a dialogue, with the text and audio together. Be sure to check out the other Platonic Dialogues. 🙏

"Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species" - Nietzsche

[@JohnJones-is5ec]

Nietzsche was the author that really got me into philosophy. It was so fascinating trying to piece out exactly what he was saying I was compelled to go back and read about those who he often criticized like Plato, Kant, Buddhism, the English Utilitarians.

[@ginnyisababe]

These recordings are causing me to really appreciate Socrates!

[@lfsa86]

I love that all comments start with gratitude and appreciation. Me too, Thank you for this!

[@oscargarcia3486]

Thanks so much, this recording is a god send! Its also nice that the recording is the exact same translation as in the complete works of plato so i can read along.

@@lewiskirk8289 oh wow that's really nice i will let them know. Thanks again!

[@Motion4000]

Hearing this with an Orthodox Christian perspective is really interesting! “The foreigners are many as well” and he says to seek someone who can charm away the fear of death among them. He also speaks of the mystics who teach that life is a preparation for death, which is what our own Orthodox monks teach. Plato also says that joy in the afterlife will be a result of seeking Wisdom, which for us is the person of Christ who fulfills the proverbs about Wisdom being contrasted with the seductress of worldly pleasures that leads to hell. I don’t interpret this in any perennialist, way but I think Plato had glimpses of what was really true Edit: Plato/Socrates

[@LightKing1237]

its more interesting to see the similarity's in what plato wrote and what would later be beliefs in the Christian doctrine. Its believed by scholars the original writers of the new testament were Greek speaking Christians which seems to explain why there is that similarity

[@ia2625]

curious to know why you dont think thats perrenialism

[@Motion4000]

@@ia2625 because Perennialists believe that all historical traditions are valid interpretations of a single truth/source. Christians believe that Christ is Truth Himself and that His teaching is the only valid one. My idea in the og post was that Plato was getting at a Christian/universal truth even if he didn’t know it.

[@kasandra7520]

As an ESL student, this audio has helped me a lot to learn how to pronounce unfamiliar and old English words. Thank you :)

[@lewiskirk8289]

Hi Kasandra. You are very welcome! I’m glad it helped you with your English studies and your Platonic comprehension. 😀🙏

[@leo32190]

Even now after my fourth rereading I cannot help but cry at the ending scene. I believe Socrates’ final words are a deliberately delayed reply to Crito’s question a few pages back on if there was anything that he could take care of for him. I feel this individually unserious and confusing remark when put in context was chosen by Socrates as a sort of comical and blissful farewell to his lifelong friend Crtio and to his other interlocutors, as to quell any last remaining doubts if he, Socrates, is truly at ease and in fact even excited to die and go be with the gods. It at the same time cheekily makes an answer to Critos question, while also making the obvious point that he is cured from this sickness which is life by offering a tribute (rooster) to the healing god Asclepius. Maybe this is a cheesy and romanticized interpretation but I don’t care, I think it makes sense and is a very poetic ending to the end of a great dialogue and to the life of a great man.

[@lewiskirk8289]

Thanks for sharing! It’s a profound ending and show what a great man and Philosopher Socrates was 🙏

I am really grateful for these readings. Having the words to read makes them wonderfully digestible. And they are very nicely read. For free. What could be better?

[@lewiskirk8289]
