A personal morality

This "prophex" character isn't me. He flubbed things up a bit for himself...I am puzzled to why you hold Leo Strauss so highly. The little of what you know of him was fed to you by Democracy now. See, you don't have to think when you listen to that program. I will bet that you have never read Heidegger and have read little, if anything, of Sartre. You probably haven't read a book since graduation. You shouldn't call anyone an idiot. Can you justify the supposed significance of a Professor from Chicago in regards to Socrates? No, you cannot.What type of knowledge do you have, honestly? Please don't answer that question.Ignatius

In anticipating your response as a given (Didn't have to think about this): No, neo-conservatism is not important.
I'm done with this joke of a website.Ignatius

I was not expecting a warm reception from my last few posts.
Yes, I came back on because I was wondering what the Dunces were going to do. jar raises an insignificant point about the writing of the dialogues. Who cares?Anyway, you have a respectable inquiry.Morality is knowledge.

---

For you have agreed that those who go wrong in their choice of pleasures and pains-which is to say, of good and bad things-go wrong from lack of knowledge, and not merely of knowledge, but, as you have already further conceded, of measurement. -Socrates

---

The man that has the knowledge cannot do wrong. For the man that has the knowledge of pleasure and pain, good and bad will be able to measure the good and the bad of an action. This man will not succumb to the illusion of immediate gratification because he can measure the good from the bad wholly.There cannot be more than one truth. If a culture believes good of the practice of suttee and another doesn't, it cannot be both right to some and wrong to others. Knowledge lends a discerning eye to man. Relativism destroys tolerance and the meaning thereof. Relativism is bullshit.IgnatiusEdited by ethics, : No reason given.
