Well, yeah, it was an analytic department. I also happen to think that's the "right" view. To clarify, I don't think reading the original texts is a bad use of time if you're already in deep, just that it's not good for a first introduction (for the reasons I mentioned). Plato was simply confused about a ton of things and makes egregious errors while reasoning through ideas. We don't read him because he was right, we read him for other reasons. For a more detailed treatment of this issue, see this blog post: http://fakenous.net/?p=1168. |
