The Republic

It has been a while since I have blogged, but a lot has happened since the Hegel vs. Marx debate. We started reading The Republic. It is without question the oldest text I have ever read, but still surprisingly relevant to our life today.

Yes, the book has surprised me. It has frustrated and changed the way I view philosophy and government. I am really looking forward to tackling the question of philosophy of art.

Our imperfect society debates ended today. I am very proud of democracy. I feel like we put our best foot forward in a fierce and entertaining five-day debate. I was so nervous before we started, but now, looking back, I am satisfied with my performance.
