Reading and Discussion Forum (July 13)

The PSA's Reading and Discussion Forum continues on July 13 with Plato's Philebus. 

Focusing on the values of pleasure and knowledge, the Philebus examines each one's importance for living the good life. Unlike many of the later dialogues of Plato, Socrates is present here and functions as a salient interlocutor, hinting at a movement back towards the earlier Socratic dialogues, not just in a literary sense but thematically as well; metaphysical and ontological discussions fade in importance as the question of what constitutes the good life comes back into the fore. July 20 will feature a discussion of Ernst Cassirer's Language and Myth. Each event will take place at KSU in room 5074 at 12:30.
