There are worthy insights in the Intro as well, that I didn’t know, including the historical discussions about the text and Plato’s fictive and composite style.

[@rossharmonics]

As to the paradox discussed around 33:00, this paradox enters the Greek mathematics, which cannot be separated from philosophy. Plato somtimes raises the paradox between "all is number" (Pythagoras), "all is one" (Parmenides), and "all is change" (Heraclitus). The mathematics that can be related to these philosophic ideas inform one another and can never be fully resolved in terms of human thought. Since the modern creation of the mathematical concept of "limit", some, not all, mathematicians think the issue is solved and put to rest. Few mathematical logicians have the wisdom and accuteness of thouught possessed by Plato.

1:55:00 to 2:00:00 maybe a little longer - Socrates and then some other characters given an excellent discussion of the importance short clear answers for useful argument vs long answers for oration.

Dear Greatest AudioBooks, Thanks for posting most of my solo projects for Librivox. I recently finished a Librivox reading for "The Vikings" by Allen Mawer. You may consider adding it to your series if History is also a topic of interest to you and your listeners. Kind regards, Kevin

Hi Kevin, thanks for your contribution. God bless!

[@TheSybil47]

I really appreciate what you are doing, and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@rossharmonics]

I don't see where the cc is so I can read and listen at the same time.

[@rossharmonics]

Hi, thanks so much for this. Did you write the introduction? Everyone recreates Plato in their own image but this introduction seems to get quite close to what I believe Plato was about.

He's reading the text of Protagoras available on Project Gutenberg

I"m so grateful for what Project Gutenberg does for us. They have such a great selection, also of pictures from the olden days on their website.

interesting that if you search protagoras and pitagoras, they are really alike and lived in about the same age
