(Bookcees) 52 book challenge

[uh-oh]

word thats dope man, i never read any plato myself. i mainly focus on history based stuff, and even then its more toward military history than anything. so for example i've read alot of xenophon, who was also a student of socrates but was also a soldier involved military conflicts and shit, where plato was just a philosopher type dude

i'll eventually get to his shit too though.

but you get dope age old quotes from basically anything back then. and even the military histories tend to get into the workings of their governments, critiques of leadership, perks blah blah. basically just gems scattered around

but they're scattered between battles, strategy and tactics

that i can then later get a nerd boner over and google all aspects, from the type of troops to the terrain, what they ate, how they organised and set up supply etc. etc.

and the fact this was all happening in BC times. the ancient world was dope. just no anti biotics though.

Ud love this


He basically constructs his idea of what the perfect nation state is with regard to education, military, healthcare, trade market etc

I'm not done yet and he getting kindve super wild right now talm bout having the naturally monstrous men being able to only breed their children to ensure the race would continue to grow bigger and stronger etc

Like I said ud love it lol

But word he creates the nation state to compare it to the individual as they attempt to define what justice is and whether or not it's more profitable to be just or unjust for the individual and the whole as well


Crazy like u said cuz how ancient Socrates was and how many of these ideas we still have or discuss today
