Bodvar to virtually All of us:
What does SOM and Aret? translate into in a MOQ context?
What is this in a MOQ retrospect?
Andre:
This, in an MOQ context means simply that SOM was one hell of a pattern of
intellectual value and that arete was the Quality that the Sophists taught;
Quality, excellence, dharma, the idea of which was subsequently demoted,
inadvertently 'encapsulated' by Plato and cemented in as such by Aristotle.
Ron:
Just an aside, I have to make comment on the notion that Plato and Aristotle
are in some way
responsible for SOM, they are not. Plato exposed the good as relative and
contextual
Aristotle that truth is the highest good and that truth lie in the power of
explaination
and that philosophy, the practice of the love of wisdom, concern itself with
first principles
of understanding experience.
SOM may be traced from the Pathagoreans neo Pathagoreans and the neo Platonists
they encapsulated the good and truth, made them static absolute and universal.
