Fojar38 posted:socrates was plato's mary sue self insert and that is why he is always arguing against strawmen and owning everyone in the dialogues In Sophist he decides that a cooler mary sue would be a "nameless stranger" and then decides to diss on Socrates. Dissing on Socrates was at the very least already anticipated in Theatetus though, but that's considered as, like, the Sophist prequel. Long story short, in Theatetus Socrates is only capable of creating "abortions", or "aborting" other people's ideas. (His mother was a midwife, he laments, given how he only destroys other people's ideas, that he's no good at it). In Sophist the nameless stranger, without explicitly calling him out, basically says that Socrates is a sophist who admits that he knows nothing, as opposed to the nameless stranger a.k.a. Plato who knows everything. See the very last pages of both those dialogues. Tiresias2 fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 25, 2015 |

Not_Rainbow_Horse posted:he was pretty gay Not only gay, but Socrates got laid like crazy. That's more or less why there were so many haters: Socrates got first pick on all the choicest, young (male) trim.
