Aristotle fixed it immediately after.

They aren't even saying anything, just expressing some vague dissatisfaction proffered by the likes of Dawkins and other nu-atheists

It took a long time to my main man Hegel end it all.

Yes.

Greek philosophy on the whole is pretty funny, when you realize that all of them (with one exception) wanted to establish themselves as God Emperor of Greece (and probably beyond).

>normies actually believe

I have to admit that I think I know Plato less and less by the day. This is solely because I've never read Plato himself, something I ought to fix soon.

I say this because first time I heard of Plato and the cave and all that I was too young and was reading from an illustrated philosophical manual. I didn't like the teacher who assigned that work either and did not understand anything (but I thought I did!). Then I knew him from Jostein Gaarder and interpretations of The Matrix film. It was much later that I would read about Plato from actual philosophers, and that's when I began unlearning what I thought Plato was on about. I'm very critic of what I know but I suspect he has a good foundation for what he brings to the table, even if it is to disagree with him.

I don't think you can put it in terms of "going wrong" and others trying to fix it. One thing is to say something banal and relatively stupid and vain, to which anyone can refute, another is to say something so profoundly stupid, you ought to be in equal depths in your intelligence to argue the other way around. The later stupidity is by all means worth talking about.

direct quote

>I think I know Plato

Part orator, part dramatist, part sophist, Plato is the greatest. If you say philosophy is "performative", he is the best performer. Who else would be so audacious as to attempt to reconcile Heraclitus & Parmenides? It's absurd!

In many ways, yes. Fortunately we had Nietzsche to help set things straight. I say this non-ironically.

Well I am a Platonic realist so I think he's totally wrong.

>>8170082
If you say philosophy is performative, Aristophanes the best philosopher.

You misspelled Heidegger there bud.
