Socrates and Plato
Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2011 by Education Center
I do not want to write this communication. Socrates, my teacher and friend, asked me to write for both of us.
"You know me, as I know, dear friend," he informed me. "When you write about me, do not forget my axiom is one to know yourself ."
I, Plato, I was amused that he will tell you that. Great were his oratorios, his lectures, and most of all, his examination of the Sophists. He would gather wherever the ear. Only in the presence of his wife he did not stay in the 'stupid' condition. Many times it is pulled out of public lectures or discussions to be addressed for being idle.
"I asked how she learned of his thought, Plato. The mind is stimulated by the discussion. Do not stir my questions more thought ?"
"Indeed, Socrates, in ten years we were together you abused my mind. You're still the leader, I am a follower. Even in death, would have followed, hemlock drunk with you, but you persuaded me to carry on , to write his philosophy ."
"To Plato, but you left Athens, center of learning and went on to Syracuse, a city cursed ignored intelligence ."
"I can not stay in Athens after being forced to take your life, dear Socrates. I went to Syracuse after a free trip through Italy to Egypt, after repeated requests by Dionysius, ruler ."
"What did he do? He sold you as a borrower ."
"I've got my freedom, faithful benefactor and returned to Athens to continue my work ."
"Ahh, I need the silence for a moment? Do nothing back, Socrates? Well, then I will continue the text, as I was asked to do ."
After his return to Athens I got a chance to run the academy, where I taught young students among gardens and trees. I've always tried to teach them the importance of classification of one mind to think logically. My greatest student Aristotle, who became my trusted companion for many years. For him, I said teachings of Socrates, and my own thoughts about life.
It is my firm belief that the sate has to be regulated by a body that will provide equality for all.
I felt that people would do well if they are assigned to work as a talent for and enjoy doing.
I believe in equality. I was lucky to be born into a family fortune, which my friend Socrates did not, however, I felt not superior to him or to any man. Maybe I am gifted with the design of the Creator to teach, write and teach, while others were also gifted to build, build, create and harvest.
Even the blind can learn a lot playing the lute and its music may susjeda.Invalid can not learn to weave and fine clothes for others.
I believe that women are inferior to men, except perhaps in strength. Socrates' mother was a nurse and midwife who supplemented his father's income cut stone.
In my dialogue, "the Republic", I extolled the virtues of women. I regret that a woman should be forced to marry against their will. To be or not to have a baby for her to decide, not the husband or ruling authority.
"Can I intervene at this point, Plato ?"
"You will, with or without my permission ."
"I owe you a debt of gratitude for the preservation of their classes in Athens after having been labeled a heretic and forced to drink Hemlock. Most of all though, I want to commend the expanded consciousness. These are my humble opinion these are combined with your own. I often got credit for philosophies that are yours ."
"It is of no consequence, my friend. Surely the idea is the seed was planted that you ."
"Just as he has sown the seeds of Aristotle, who expanded on them ."
"is a great seed of an idea that should be passed to all generations, Socrates ."
"What could be ?"
"For myself I ."
