They really revealed their lack of seriousness when talking about the way Socrates looked. Of what relevance is it? What makes it even more absurd is that a guy who looks like a retarded fish is the one talking about someone elses ugliness.
Socrates was a philosopher, not a contestant in Miss Universe!

That Socrates was married? no way, he was gay and had a boyfriend. This “documentary” is so poorly made. Too bad.

I didn’t say it was widely disputed, but that it has and continues to be disputed, which is true. The majority of historians do indeed agree he existed though, to be fair.
Nevertheless a majority of historians thought Troy was fiction, so you just never know.
My point is just that people shouldn’t go around calling others ugly,especially someone nobody saw. So I think we should abstain from being pettifogs.
Good day brother.

I think the disputes are really regarding his writings and if they were actually were his or were just reflections of Plato’s thoughts.
I don’t think it is widely disputed that Socrates actually existed…so yeah.

There are disputes whether or not Socrates even existed, yet you say for a fact that he was ugly or whatever. You say “ugly” as if it’s some sort of fact. Beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder my brother. So I ask you to re-state that nonsense.

Ya, but the historian Xenophon, as well as the playwright Aristophanes, both have described Socrates in much a similar way as Plato (with several exceptions, such as whether or not Socrates was paid to teach). In terms of physical appearance and philosophical ideals, though, the descriptions are almost identical, even considering that Aristophanes wrote a lot of comedy. Also, it would seem that Aristotle was more of an “anti-Plato” character than Socrates.

I think that all the “ugliness” so often stresses by Plato, simply proves that Socrates did not exist and was the Plato’ imaginary anti-Plato character. Nobility vs. poverty, ugliness vs. smartness, although thoughts are strangely similar for both philosophers, especially about politics.

The rhetoric of this video seems to sugarcoat the message Socrates’ philosophy and make it look like a self-help seminar for PUSSIES.

Greco-Buddhism, sometimes spelt Graeco-Buddhism, refers to the cultural syncretism between Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed between the 4th century BCE and the 5th century CE

Many of the early Mahayana theories of reality and knowledge can be related to Greek philosophical schools of thought. Mahayana Buddhism has been described as the “form of Buddhism which (regardless of how Hinduized its later forms became) seems to have originated in the Greco-Buddhist communities of India, through a conflation of the Greek Democritean-Sophistic-Skeptical tradition with the rudimentary and unformalized empirical and skeptical elements already present in early Buddhism

In the Prajnaparamita, the rejection of the reality of passing phenomena as “empty, false and fleeting” can also be found in Greek Pyrrhonism.The perception of ultimate reality was, for the Cynics as well as for the Madhyamakas and Zen teachers after them, only accessible through a non-conceptual and non-verbal approach (Greek Phronesis), which alone allowed to get rid of ordinary conceptions

The mental attitude of equanimity and dispassionate outlook in front of events was also characteristic of the Cynics and Stoics, who called it “Apatheia”Nagarjuna’s dialectic developed in the Madhyamaka can be paralleled to the Greek dialectical tradition.

I agree that good and evil don’t have to be the infinite ends of a line, but to deny correlation may also lead to fallible thoughts. Regardless, that still did not answer the question, what is the most profitable use of our time on earth? Perhaps is there a generalized statement they could equal in magnitude the general of humanity? In other words, something like “Studying Philosophy” as an answer applies to few, and is too specific of an answer, so let’s be vague.

@XTimes Ultimately evil derives from “good intentions”. Good and evil are NOT opposites just as war and peace are NOT opposites. These are common misperceptions and falacies that are “accepted” in society. People generally tend to think in terms of opposites but do not necesarily think in terms of consequences for any action or decision that they make. Often times people make decisions especially hastily made decisions without regard of what may happen. The meaning is in the question.

@XTimes. But did Death solve the donkey’s problem? Who is going to feed the donkey? Who is going to water him? Who is going to house him? Who is going to clip his nails? Who is going to protect him from the wolves? Who is going to shod his feet? Who is going to take the donkey to the veteranarian when he gets sick?
