Section 13 Group 2
On Thursday we further discussed Plato. We specifically went deeper into his "theory of forms". We argued whether or not we agreed with his views or not, we decided not, rather quickly. To us it does not make sense to imagine a more perfect world, we should focus on the reality of the "real world" we are living in. Though we also pointed out striving for perfection is not always bad.

word. havnt yet read anything on Epicurus yet, but I remember Oliver sayin that Aristotle and himself and the pretty similar views, so just a suggestion to read over both of them so we can compare and contrast them as a group. see ya Tuesday
ReplyDeleteaye, good stuff last meeting. But yupp, Epicurus seems like a big improvement over Plato. His stuff is a lot less depressing, and I kind of like some of his ideas, like not worrying about death and whatnot. Should be an interesting discussion. Perhaps we could talk about his idea of "I was not; I have been; I am not; I do not mind."
