Every revisit makes me want to spend hours contemplating my perspectives with his or any other philosopher.
I chose to teach small segments from the Apology, knowing my students were too unexposed. We parsed sentences.
Reading this brought me back to the attention one needs to really understand the panoply of insights one needs to get it.
I sense those conversations are few and far between now.
Thanks for the read.
