Mrs. Lillywhite, it is difficult to understand things when concepts are ill defined. Justice and injustice for example. We have come a long way from Plato. Have you considered this definition of Justice as being the absence of Injustice. And Injustice being no recourse to a crime. I very much enjoy reading about your intellectual journey. I learn alot. Take care
Yes, but I think even if we’ve moved past this conversation, it seems that elements of it are still recapitulated even to this day, so it’s interesting reading them from so long ago!
Exactly. That is why a proper understanding of concepts are needed. I'm simply an old bricklayer trying to understand things. Sometimes simple is best. Thanks for trying to do just that. Take care. Is it not midnight in Italy?
I tried listening to the audiobook last year, and I also was pleasantly surprised to find it's actually a narrative format, like characters come and go and have lives outside of the conversation, and I loved that it started with them doing this after-party, still wearing their party hats and sloshed as it becomes "that time" to get toasted long into the night and talk philosophy. My people!
