Ion, by Plato - 0 views

  • In the course of conversation the admission is elicited from Ion that his skill is restricted to Homer, and that he knows nothing of inferior poets, such as Hesiod and Archilochus;—he brightens up and is wide awake when Homer is being recited, but is apt to go to sleep at the recitations of any other poet.
  • he who knows the superior ought to know the inferior also;—he who can judge of the good speaker is able to judge of the bad.
  • and he who judges of poetry by rules of art ought to be able to judge of all poetry.'

  • The rhapsode is not guided by rules of art,
  • s inspired by the God
  • The poet is the inspired interpreter of the God
  • some poets, like Homer, are restricted to a single theme
  • Tynnichus, are famous for a single poem;
  • rhapsode is the inspired interpreter of the poet, and for a similar reason some rhapsodes, like Ion, are the interpreters of single poets.
  • Socrates asks whether he can speak well about everything in Homer
  • 'What about things of which he has no knowledge?
  • n answers that he can interpret anything in Homer.
  • Socrates
  • omer speaks of the arts, as for example, of chariot-driving
  • will he, or will the charioteer or physician or prophet or pilot be the better judge?
  • on is compelled to admit that every man will judge of his own particular art better than the rhapsode

  • Genius i

  • They are sacred persons, 'winged and holy things' who have a touch of madness in their composition (Phaedr.),
  • reated with every sort of respect
  • The rhapsode belongs to the realm of imitation and of opinion: he professes to have all knowledge, which is derived by him from Homer, just as the sophist professes to have all wisdom, which is contained in his art of rhetoric.
  • he cannot explain the nature of his own art; his great memory contrasts with his inability to follow the steps of the argument
  • old quarrel between philosophy and poetry

The Republic, by Plato - 0 views

  • He was the greatest metaphysical genius whom the world has seen; and in him, more than in any other ancient thinker, the germs of future knowledge are contained. The sciences of logic and psychology, which have supplied so many instruments of thought to after-ages, are based upon the analyses of Socrates and Plato
  • The principles of definition, the law of contradiction, the fallacy of arguing in a circle, the distinction between the essence and accidents of a thing or notion, between means and ends, between causes and conditions; also the division of the mind into the rational, concupiscent, and irascible elements, or of pleasures and desires into necessary and unnecessary—these and other great forms of thought are all of them to be found in the Republic, and were probably first invented by Plato.
  • The argument of the Republic is the search after Justice
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The first care of the rulers is to be education

Israel's Ultra-Orthodox Problem - The Daily Beast - 0 views

  • Rachel Weinstein calls it her Rosa Parks moment
  • an ultra-Orthodox passenger directed her to the back of the bus where, she noticed, the women were sitting separately
    • Jordyn Shell
       
      The 'norm' for the Orthodox Jews, women sit separately from men

      Definition of who are the 'Orthodox Jews'....
  • Instead of complying, Weinstein took a seat several rows behind the driver and held her ground, channeling the spirit of that American civil-rights icon from more than a half century ago
    • Jordyn Shell
       
      Comparing the situation to Rosa Parks' situation
  • some ultra-Orthodox Jews have tried to impose a kind of communal piety—a strict code of behavior that includes gender segregation on buses, with men in the front and women in the back
    • Jordyn Shell
       
      What would we call this? A kind of 'segregation' maybe?
  • Once a tiny minority, ultra-Orthodox Jews—also known as Haredim—now make up more than 10 percent of Israel’s population and 21 percent of all primary-school students. With the community’s fertility rate hovering at more than three times that of other Israeli Jews, demographers project that by 2034, about one in five Israelis will be ultra-Orthodox
    • Jordyn Shell
       
      Who are the 'Haredim'?
  • another Haredi preoccupation that has stirred tensions across Israel
  • lack the skills to work in a modern economy, having studied little or no math and science beyond primary school
    • Jordyn Shell
       
      Issue with the Orthodox Jews come from the 'education' aspect of society
  • The country’s political landscape will also shift
  • Haredim are consistently hawkish on the question of territorial compromise with the Palestinians, citing God’s covenant with Abraham granting Jews the land of Israel.
  • So how did the Haredim become Israel’s latest demographic worry?
  • Among other things, he agreed to Army exemptions for 18-year-old Haredim who wished to continue studying at religious seminaries instead of being called to serve.

The ideas of Karma and Fate. A "free will inviolability" as a fundamental law of Creation - 0 views

  • mistakes a man has committed in his life may allegedly throw him back, and he may reincarnate as an animal.
    • Matthew Schaffer
       
      Believing that if we do bad things in our life may make us re-birth as an animal is very interesting? I don't see here why to them being an animal is so bad. What does the animal symbolize to them?
  • If something is going on in this world, it means that some system stands necessarily behind this,
    • Matthew Schaffer
       
      Here they are saying, in simpler terms, that everything has a force. Everything that happens in the world is made by some "system" which is behind it. So, this is saying that things can and will happen no matter what, confirming their belief in fate. 
  • a man has to know his mistakes for himself
    • Matthew Schaffer
       
      It begins to talk about Karma here, however this was not the assignment it is still interesting. What they say about Karma is that man needs to be aware of the mistakes that they have made and try to fix it, and then move on.

  • The fate is a possibility to choose freely your own Past and your own Future.
    • Matthew Schaffer
       
      The Easterners definition of Fate is the possibility to choose your own past, and your own future. This meaning that in a way, man can choose and create their own fate. I agree with this, because after what they said about Karma, it is clear to me that they believe that everything is because of man. 
  • a possibility of this free choice of his own fate is not always available because of karma of all the civilization.
    • Matthew Schaffer
       
      Here they say that Fate may not always be possible. I think because someone may want a certain fate, but because of their strong belief in Karma, Karma will get in the way of their Fate
