  • Résumé

  • In this episode of The Spinoza Triad, Dr. Richard Miller, Dan Rowland, and John Gibbs discuss the philosophical underpinnings of Plato's dialogues, particularly focusing on the Socratic method, the art of rhetoric, and the moral implications of persuasion. The discussion explores how these themes relate to modern education, the concept of virtue, and the challenges posed by cancel culture in contemporary debates. We reflect on the nature of the good life and the responsibilities that come with the power of persuasion, ultimately questioning how society defines and pursues virtue today. We discuss the philosophical themes of pleasure, happiness, virtue, and power, drawing on the dialogues of Socrates and Calicles. We discuss the implications of pursuing pleasure, the nature of morality, and the role of power in politics, ultimately questioning the modern interpretations of virtue and the societal values prioritizing wealth and success over genuine fulfillment.
