Ron replies: Interesting question. Socrates broke It down in much the same way RMP Did, physically (moderation) socially (Goodwill) and intellectually (wisdom) Which he boils down to the highest pleasure. It seems to me that Socrates associates leading a good Life as leading a pleasing life. With that being said, I would venture To project that a pleasing life would Be a worthwhile life. Therefore "knowing" for Socrates Is in the empirical pleasing sense of artistic Practice not an abstract, universal concept by which we measure a life. And I think that makes a distinct difference In ones outlook. .thank you Dan Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
