Plato's Dialogues - Euthyphro (Audiobook)

[@JamesPeach]

Better reading and voice than most audiobooks that charge to hear them.

[@freeyourmind4349]

Agreed!!!

[@luislanga]

Who knew Kratos could read

[@resurrectedfaith]

He just flexed on him so hard

[@ornofthetalon1]

Your voice is perfect for this. Awesome recording.

[@pekka1900]

This audio is distorted, from much higher pitch, but it's fine.

[@Maggotaur]

This is a most excellent reading of a dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro.

[@jayce7646]

The voice acting/recording is absolutely amazing. I'm glad I found this video, the others hurt to listen too.

[@drewblasko314]

This was by far the best one for Euthephyro

[@Noodlemonkey7]

Thank you so much! I can't even being to tell you how much this really helped me understand what was being said. You have such a beautiful voice. I could listen to you forever. Thanks again! I appreciate this.

[@alfamari7675]

This is one hell of an audiobook voice. Definitely professional level voice acting.

[@mamushi72sai]

One thing is for sure, Sokrates made people very uncomfortable.

[@jamesmcgriff8775]

HAHAHAHAH

[@hamnchee]

He kept looking at me weird

[@pineapplelover8684]

i put this on speed and it made reading so much easier when i could listen and feel the engagement in your voice

[@johneagle4384]

Thank you! The reading is outstanding.

[@JohnLothe]

Thank you. I hope you're subscribed 😀

[@renatofurtado2947]

This is the best Plato dialogue reading I’ve ever listened to!

[@MTB4CHRIST]

That was so exhausting and interesting at the same time!

[@JohnLothe]

What did you find exhausting about it, the back and forth? Or Socrates' method of reasoning?

[@whispersofveracity63]

This recording is clearly underrated. Please record more books. That would be a great service.

[@arielyemini4221]

Thank you so very much for uploading this!

Great Job. This is an awesome contribution to society.

[@Twistedhippy]

I didn't realize this wasn't an audiobook original until i read the comments. Bravo

[@trihard7442]

good voice. way better than those other Euthyphro videos. thanks!

[@abellizandro8743]

You’re just amazing. Thanks

[@abelphilosophy4835]

Perfect voice for the occasion

[@balletobsessed666]

I love this! Brings to life the conversations, wonderful voice! Would you by any chance consider recording Crito as well?

[@danielkelley7548]

Wow! What a voice!

[@wes4736]

I wish they had us read things like this in school! I can't believe it took me twenty years to actually get into Socratic dialogue. The concepts open the mind, every question prompts the mind for a response. I wish to add what is almost certainly a very often thought thought. That is, to compare how Sophocles is accused of being the mover of argument, and Euthyphro said he would never have had these talks, To Euthyphro being the mover of his OWN argument, his fathers prosecution, and the courts having wished to also not engage in such prosecution. So Euthyphro is to the courts, as Socrates to Euthyphro, one without knowledge of the pious. And so as Euthyphro could not see the end of his own thought, he will not see the end of his prosecution, at least in a way he prefers.

[@JohnLothe]

Excellent break down. You understood the assignment.

[@ohmss069]

Euthyphro was not willing to admit that holiness is only what pleases the gods. He makes a bad argument, that certain acts are inherently holy, and therefore receive praise from the gods. More likely, the gods decide what is and is not holy based on their personal opinions. Correct: I sacrifice a lamb to Apollo. Apollo favors the sacrifice. Therefore, the sacrifice is holy. Incorrect: Sacrificing a lamb to Apollo is holy. Apollo favors holy acts. I perform the holy act, and therefore have done a thing favorable to Apollo. Euthyphro should have made a case against his father on legal grounds rather than grounds of impiety, which is a more difficult argument to make, since the will of the gods is difficult to pin down. Many of the gods’ actions contradict each other, making impiety hard to define. Much easier to make a manslaughter argument, which Euthyphro’s father’s actions seem to be an act of.

[@alexl.2078]

feel like u kinda missed the point a lil! it remains an open question. is what is pious simply whatever pleases the gods? then why should we serve their caprice? alternatively, do things that are pious in themselves please the gods? then whence, if not the gods, comes piety? better beware of claims of "correct" and "incorrect" when my man socrayts comes around lol, he'll put u in ur place

[@danielkelley7548]

Wow. Darth Vader sounds like a pretty cool dude.

[@Subject417]

You're voice and acting for Euthyphro is fantastic. Now when ever I read this dialogues your voice is the one in my head. Amazing job!....No offense, but the Socrates voice was okay, I just imagine it differently.

[@JohnLothe]

Well describe to me how he sounds to you and maybe I can work on that :) glad you liked it though. Working on the rest now so hopefully we can find a happy ground on the Socrates. I tried to sound like what I imagined an 72 year old man might sound but I am by no means an expert.

[@Subject417]

@@JohnLothe I always imagined him as having a younger voice than the typical old man. Socrates is said to dress like a beggar and look like a oaf. It's only when he begins to speak that people realize that they've bitten far more than they can chew.

[@johnDoe-vt4et]

Beautiful voice recording not even 5 minutes in

[@donutthrow9946]

Great voice! There's a need for an audiobook of Xenophon's Hiero . . .

[@Andrea-br4gv]

Socrates,speak Plato do not hide your knowledge ! Plato, another time Socrates, I most go now....what happened at this point of their circular dialog?

[@changuito10]

Most of Socrates dialogs end with no end

[@TischRehkitz913]

Love the way the text is read. But why are Plato and Aristotle on the picture and not Sokrates and Euthyphro

[@JohnLothe]

Because this is the dialogues of plato and there was no picture that looked as good that had Socrates and Euthyphro

[@theoxab4449]

Making my collage philosophy reading 10x easier

[@JohnLothe]

happy to be of help, sorry to hear you're in college :( good luck with that.

[@kwaanzakay317]

What conclusion do the both draw in the end about piety ? Forgive my ignorance I am still a little confused.

[@JohnLothe]

Kwaanza Kay that Euthyphro doesn't know what it is, or what he's talking about.

[@christopherortega6257]

@@JohnLothe To add a little... he did this to make him realize he really needs to sit down and think whether or not what he is doing is the right decision and not just assume it is because he thinks he knows what piety is.

BEST VOICE

[@chrisweatherley9587]

my throat hurts listening to this.

[@Mike36555]

wow just wow.

[@ReefBlastbody2]

Great reading, you can really feel why they made him drink that tasty cup of hemlock tea. The man had an infuriating logical progression that would make even a wise man question all that he knows. Socrates is the original, "Gas Lighting" master. Definition - Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity.

[@monkeybull445]

I would argue that Socrates is a master devil's advocate than a gaslighter. Gaslighting implies that you intend harm, where Socrates goals are to seek out the truth of the matter

[@voiceintheopen345]

+Stephen A. socrate was that, a truth seeker, he had the habit of traying to makepeople think deeply about important matter when a master like him was able to make the other speaker come to a clear and coherent conclusion the master succeeded

[@abelphilosophy4835]

I disagree on the manipulation aspect. Manipulation is not a virtue ( that which is good and commendable)but a vice ( that which is evil and detestable) therefore it is not good . Socrates was virtuous

[@patbau96]

Leading someone in a conversation is just a strategy for arriving at the truth. He wanted Euthyphro to walk through his ideology logically (which he clearly hadn't done before) in order to confirm its validity. And he was very careful to confirm with him at various points whether or not they understood each other, and if the way he was leading him was appropriate.

[@ReefBlastbody2]

I recently read the Apology as recorded by Plato. Upon reexamination of Socrates's works and of his death, I think I may have been unduly harsh with him. They actually had to accuse him of Daemon worship and the corruption of the youth of Athens. I suspect the true reason he was executed was that, he asked too many questions and this in turn revealed a lot of the inadequacies of Athenian leadership at the time.

[@patrickskramstad1485]

[@d-m.n_--2]

I greatly appreciate the reading of the dialog. However I am now confused as to how this Socrates gets about with talking in circles. He appears to use strawmen to disprove Euthyphro and his argument.

[@JohnLothe]

D-m'n what strawmen exactly are you perceiving?

[@danielsmithiv1279]

@@JohnLothe He doesnt even know what strawmen Socrates is using. Therefore, his assertion only proves Socrates right all the more

[@Νικοδιονιθεα]

Can you refine a polytheistic religion like Hellenistic theology into purer philosophy like the Buddha of Hinduism? That would be spectacular

Could you Please record the Apology?
