Plato, The Phaedo - Misology And Misanthopy - Sadler's Lectures
Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler
Categories:
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's work, The Phaedo, which is a dialogue taking place between Socrates and his friends on the day of his execution. Specifically it examines Socrates' seeming digression about the dangers of "misology" (hatred of arguments or reasoning), understood by way of analogy to misanthropy.
