You're obviously not going to just read the stuff they assign, right?

These guys realize this meme is more immediate fun that talking about philosophy. Once you teach them they can have fun talking and laughing with you about something more complicated, then we can come to some interesting understanding.

Thank you. I didn't go with the complete text because some of the reviews claim the translation are just plain wrong, and any supplementary material I'm sure my uni can provide via JSTOR or some other collection of Plato. But I did buy the individual Hackett classic of each (which have variable translators). Thanks for reminding me that, when it comes to academic philosophy, Hackett is the best. They were the only way I could get into the political meat of Augustine and Aquinas, they made Hobbes shine, and illuminated Hume with clarity for me.

Your professor didn't tell you which specific text to get? You aren't reading it in Ancient Greek right?

Translations differ, so either your professor doesn't know that, which makes him a shit professor, or he doesn't care, which makes him a shit professor.

individual hacketts = translations in complete barring like 2 dialogues...
