dmb to Andre re expected answers from Platt: I'll bet you a million Euros that it's not going to happen anytime soon.
Andre: And here I was, in all my naivete, thinking I'd be in for some easy money... but alas...you are correct dmb, Platt has referred me to Chapter 17 of Lila....seems I have fallen for the old notion of twentieth-century intellectual faith in man's (in this case Platt's) basic goodness as spontaneous and natural. It is disastrously naive! (Lila, p 314) I thought that this discuss was to share and critically analyse eachother's points of view and ideas relating to the MoQ, and where we are confused or simply do not know we can assist eachother towards deepening/clarifying our understanding. Not imposing one's point of view, dismissing the other's and try to score points in the process. Ahh, disastrously naive!! dmb: It would cost him everything, ideologically speaking. He'd have to re-arrange countless ideas, abandon a pile of others and generally reorient his whole attitude. Andre: Sounds like a pretty dynamic way of living. And the gains would outweigh the costs by a mile I'd say. dmb continues: Notice how the narrator's speech is full of cliches and platitudes while Phaedrus is philosophical and far more interesting? It's hard to miss, unless one wants to miss it that is. Andre: Couldn't agree more David. It's the strength of the book (any good book really). You can approach it from many different perspectives and learn and appreciate it everytime you read it. Thank you for your post and encouragement. Muchly appreciated.
