Comments on: Plato is among us http://fictions.wp-content-themes.com/plato-is-among-us/105 Stories, plots and themes Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:23:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Iulia http://fictions.wp-content-themes.com/plato-is-among-us/105/comment-page-1#comment-65 Iulia Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:09:18 +0000 http://fictions.wp-content-themes.com/?p=105#comment-65 I believe that Wordsworth said that philosophy after Plato is nothing but a footnote to his work. The difference between Plato philosophy and "after Plato philosophy" stands not in the material evolution, nor in invention but in spiritual paradigm. Our "new brave world" don't assemble Plato's world not because we have highways, trains or turkeys, but because we feel different about the world we're in. Plato is not a stranger, nor his Idea, and the margins of our world aren't the margins of our feelings or thoughts. Let's just say that "after Plato philosophy" - meaning our Philosophy is nothing but a new paradigm, a new way of feeling standing on a clumsy paradigm but not necessarily less true or authentic. p.s. Sorry for my English, I'm not a fervent speaker. I believe that Wordsworth said that philosophy after Plato is nothing but a footnote to his work.
The difference between Plato philosophy and “after Plato philosophy” stands not in the material evolution, nor in invention but in spiritual paradigm. Our “new brave world” don’t assemble Plato’s world not because we have highways, trains or turkeys, but because we feel different about the world we’re in. Plato is not a stranger, nor his Idea, and the margins of our world aren’t the margins of our feelings or thoughts.
