"Plato's Hellenic audience will have been aware that the Trojan War was traditionally attributed to the intention of Zeus to relieve the Earth of the excess human population, as well as of an oppressive generation of warrior princes." -

Edward Butler -
The City of the Gods

Another interesting aside on this modern commentary on Plato's Republic.

@Cat_LeFey I think that serves as a good introduction as a lot of his other stuff is very in depth. This has the conclusions and concepts without the massive deep dive into #Platonism that's in some of his other works.

Here is the last new core concept video (for now) on key ideas in Seneca's On The Shortness of Life. This one looks at his claim that studying philosophy actually gives us more time and life, by placing us into conversations.

"Murdoch’s talk of beauty and The Good may seem wildly idealistic to the modern behaviorist-utilitarian, and yet Murdoch claims it’s the behaviorist-utilitarian view that’s optimistic—optimistic that we can we can see the world and ourselves so clearly and that ethics is merely a matter of working out puzzles and activating our will."

@redshiftdrift

Lots of reasons, I suppose. Personally, I think it can be answered simply but the whole 'numbers are real' #Platonism argument adds a bit of complexity for some people.

In any case, it's a question that is indeed asked, especially by #Physicists interested in the foundations of knowledge and metaphysical reality.

Saw some fascist idiots on the birb site trying to diss a trans inclusive analysis of #Plotinus so I made these memes based on #Proclus actual own words to show that #Neoplatonism and #Platonism of late antique #Polytheism are in fact very #transinclusive.

Can anyone recommend a #Mastadon instance for #philosophy, specifically the long history of #platonism and related strands of thought originating in ancient #greece?

Not my field, genuinely asking for a friend.

Hypatia of Alexandria: A philosopher for polarized times

"In 415 AD the pagan mathematician and philosopher Hypatia was murdered by a mob of Christian conspiracy theorists on the streets of Alexandria, who tore her body apart and burned it outside the city. The event shocked the Greek-speaking Mediterranean world."
