The Republic - Plato

[Luis G]

I'm reading it, but apparently, they are just dialogs of Socrates

Plato huh? Ever read any of his stuff on Atlantis?

 

[Luis G]

I'm starting to think that Plato was no more than just "Socrates personal writer".

 

[Luis G]

Atlantis?, no, just started reading the republic, and after that it comes rethoric, then fedos and then love.

Plato was Socrates, student, and Aristotle was Plato's. It sort of stands to reason.

HL, you're right about the student-to-teacher thing.

However, i was expecting to read some dialogs of Plato, not Socrates, guess if i actually want to read what Plato said i better buy a book of Aristoteles

can't say i'm a big fan of anything written by plato, i never liked his potrayal of socrates or the way he proved his point(s) through ridiculous circular reasoning

I don't even remember where it came from, but years ago I saw a gay person explaining to his aunt that there had been gay people throughout history. Even Plato was gay. To which his aunt replied, "Mickey Mouse's dog was gay?" I think he said Goofy was his lover.
