> Socrates quarrels with Homer. Aristotle quarrels with Plato. [..] These quarrels are never personal. This, like many of today's rosy views of the golden past, is slightly misleading: while Socrates many have high-minded intellectual quarrels with Homer, one can't just ignore that he was murdered ("sentenced to death") by his fellow Athenians for supposedly corrupting the youth. In comparison to drinking hemlock, the criticism today's divisive figures have to endure seems manageable. |
