YTMNSFW Philosophy Evening 11/14/2013

[Moonman]

Hello, and welcome to the first of YTMNSFW philosophy discussion evenings! We'll be discussing some of the greats; from the Greek Classics of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Ovid, and Homer - to the 17th, 18th and 19th century Germans like Kant, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Schelling, Spinoza, and Nietzsche - to even the more modern 20th century philosophers like Derrida, Rand, and Chomsky.

Tonight we'll be discussing Plato's Symposium. One of Plato's two greatest works, next to Republic. Symposium consists of a series of speeches given on the subject of human love and compassion.

I will begin tonight's discussion with an essay question for you to respond to and discuss: many parallels can be drawn between Socrates' and Agathon's speeches and the New Testament of Christianity - describe these parallels, citing specific examples.

Pffft like no one pointed out that Spinoza wasn't German, he was Dutch
and Kant arguably wasn't German either; depends on what you considered "German" back then

How can you mention modern philosophers without mentioning Singer or Rawls you poseur

And Rand? Lol writing sone FICTITIOUS BOOKS doesnr make you a philosopher
