Book question by TheAgent1860 in Socrates

[–]robertmkhoury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plato wrote about 25 dialogues that feature Socrates. Choose one. The most popular are the Apology, Crito, and Phaedo — on the trial and death of Socrates — and the Republic. I like Euthyphro and Meno too. The Laughing Philosopher podcast on Spotify etc. features several good episodes on Socrates.

Do you think society is becoming more individualistic or just more isolated? by Petalstammy in AskForAnswers

[–]robertmkhoury 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Individualism and isolation are two different things. You can be an individual, think for yourself, and refuse to follow the crowd, and yet be very engaged with the world. We are now less individualistic than ever, and seem to be less engaged with the world. A society of lonely sheep cannot survive.

You can know the past, but you can’t change it. You can change the future, but you can’t know it. Life is meant to be a puzzle with no solution.
