You read it 40 years ago? You didn't remember anything or have any takeaways, so you read the wikipedia article, was dismissive then got defensive.
Idk, it seems faux-intellectual when you read a wikipedia page and copypaste a minor point of contention irrelevant to the topic and declare it 'no big deal'.
The fact that you mention sophists, mean you are way out of your element.
OH! You read some plato as a college kid! I'm talking to someone who is pretending they read plato under their own free will. Heck, you never even read Gorgias!
Wow detective work huh
- hilbert42 3y ago1. With respect, you haven't answered my questions. 2. I have a personal library of over two hundred physical books on philosophy including most of my original textbooks. I'm unsure of the number of ebooks but it would much fewer than that. 3. Unfortunately, my Greek is limited to only a few words so my copies of Gorgias, Phaedrus and others are in English—translation Jowett. You seem so knowledgeable about the subject presumably you read your copy untranslated. 4. Tell me about yourself. Presumably you lecture at some university in philosophy.
