One of them was synonymous with fate/destiny/karma. I could believe that Socrates might be tired of his life with Xanthippe, but considered suicide to be a shameful act. He might be complicit in his own death, making it akin to a 'suicide by jury'.Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-52994545474355684002016-01-21T13:14:17.473-05:002016-01-21T13:14:17.473-05:00*subscribe to a belief*subscribe to a beliefMindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-90482254998513602702016-01-21T13:12:36.124-05:002016-01-21T13:12:36.124-05:00Regarding Socrates, fabricated charges are also a ...Regarding Socrates, fabricated charges are also a possibility. You have to prove that occultist tendencies of Plato were inherited from Socratic teachings, and weren't his own invention. I see him as an early proponent of primacy of nature over nurture, among other things. Do you recall that he held the belief that virtue cannot be taught, as opposed to Sophists he despised? Now, don't leftist subscribe, like sophists before, that human mind is a blank slate capable to be taught anything possible? That is their basis for the claim that a utopian society is realizable.Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-25544172964772238212016-01-21T12:54:58.704-05:002016-01-21T12:54:58.704-05:00No footnotes.

That makes your premise simply absurd: imaginary human creations that are hateful toward and envious of humans. Stick the blame where it belongs.Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-28087850479964081902016-01-20T14:38:32.863-05:002016-01-20T14:38:32.863-05:00I know Gary so I'll write him and ask.I know Gary so I'll write him and ask.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046202647270439670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-62749725068165240802016-01-20T14:18:27.123-05:002016-01-20T14:18:27.123-05:00I'm not certain, but the reference to Rushdoon...I'm not certain, but the reference to Rushdoony leads me to think it was written by Gary North.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
