Plato, continued.

I went to the Concordia College library today, to exercise my power as an alumni to keep checking out their books.  I now have two translations each of The Symposium & Phaedrus, as well as a book discussing the historical Socrates (rather than Plato's literary character).

It was exceedingly satisfying to find that Plato occupied the leftmost row on the bottom floor of the collection - it is, sorting-wise, essentially the first thing in the library -- and also to find three full shelves of books with Plato's name somewhere on the spine of every last one.  That's more like it.  That's what I'm talkin' about.

Also, the book about the historical Socrates seems to essentially say that all we know about him is that we don't know anything about him.

Which seems aappropriate...
