When I was at the New School in 1965-1967 studying philosophy mainly as a way of staying out of the army, I took a class on Plato with Seth Benardete, one of Leo Strauss's main acolytes. I really had no idea what his point was but I wish I knew back then what I know now. I'd have given him hell. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
