The Republic, Plato

I will be defending my doctoral dissertation on Friday March 7 at 10 AM Mountain Time! Abstract is attached; please DM me if you'd like the room and/or Zoom info

it's funny to me that Aristotle basically said "Yeah Plato is the whackiest mf I have ever encountered": "Other constitutions have been proposed; some by private persons, others by philosophers and statesmen, which all come nearer to established or existing ones than either of Plato’s."

Bigots whose goal is straightforwardly to hurt people for being different, the most crude kinda raw visceral arbitrary hatred, are gunning for trans people across the world. And in America they have significant and growing power.

Non-philosophers: "I respectfully disagree." Philosophers: "I disrespectfully agree."
