Episode description
What did Plato actually argue two and a half millennia ago?
Show NotesWe really only did one thing in this episode: talked about Plato’s Phaedrus! What did Plato say? How did he say it? What does it mean? There are, though, lots of interpretations.
- Relevant to our next episode: people have cited Lyotard a lot.
- Oh… and Alan Jacobs is back on Twitter.
- The Andy Matuschak post referenced in the episode
- “Oak Forest” by Ivan Muela
- “Winning Slowly Theme” by Chris Krycho.
