Philosophy Friday: Intro to Plato

In senior Bible, in addition to Ask Anything Friday, we’re now taking a 10-15 look at key figures and ideas in the history of philosophy. I’ve made use here and there of 8-Bit Philosophy videos, but The School of Life is a bit more systematic. I’m a bit surprised there is not a discussion of The Cave allegory in this video, but we can discuss it nonetheless. Plato’s insight into what to look for in a significant other is certainly counter-culture (point #3 in the video) and will probably be something we discuss further before getting to the questions of the day.
