Hey all of you fabulous scholars. The eight of you who are currently contributing to this blog all have comments and questions which relate directly or indirectly to a very interesting conversation that Socrates had prior to his trial for religious heresy. Let's read this dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro, as it was transcribed by Plato, and talk about how things have or haven't changed with regard to RELIGION in the 21st century. OK? (We can also discuss what the FORM of the dialogue is supposed to do. You'll need to ask a bunch of questions, I hope. That's always Socrates' intention.) I'm going to send each one of you a copy of the dialogue so that you can read and annotate before our teach-in on April 30. If each of you bring 1 friend we could 16 students at the teach-in, and that would be a BLAST. Can you imagine 16 people thoughtfully discussing the role of religion in society??? C'mon. It'll be fun.
THANK YOU for your thoughtful posts. You guys inspire me.
