One thing that I don’t think enough people know is that “Plato” might be a wrestling nickname meaning “Broad,” like broad chest, and we that might not actually know his given name—but we do know the names of his brothers Adeimantus and Glaucon, and his sister Potone!

So it’s like all of Western Philosophy is footnotes to the work of “the Rock,” and 2400 years from now, people know that “the Rock” had siblings named Dave, Bob, and Susan, but have no idea that he himself was named Dwayne. They cite “the Rock” with utmost seriousness, and without irony.

unopinionated, uncommitted, and unwavering

unopinionated, uncommitted, and unwavering

The most striking sign of this possible influence is how Pyrrho expressed himself in the actual form of the Four-Fold Negation: “…but we should be unopinionated, uncommitted, and unwavering, saying concerning each individual thing that it no more is than is not, or it both is and is not, or it neither is nor is not” [Aristocles].

Platón. Carta VII.

La imperfección no está en las ideas, sino en la materia que procedente del caos, es ordenada por el demiurgo según el modelo de las ideas. Esta es su llamada "teoría de las ideas"

Maestro-Alumno

El día martes no tuvimos clase, el maestro tenía que hacer algo y nos dejó unas hojas que hablaban de la filosofía, teníamos que trabajar con ellas por equipo pero terminamos haciéndolo individual.

El día miércoles continuamos viendo a Sócrates, él fue acusado de ser un corruptor de la juventud. Para el, los mitos no eran válidos, no había mitos para él, y decía que las personas podrían ser capaces de emitir juicios de valor.

También vimos a otro filósofo griego llamado Aristocles; todos lo conocemos por Platón, el cual era alumno de Sócrates.

El maestro dijo que se llamaba Platón porque un maestro lo había apodado de esa forma, porque tenía la espalda ancha, por su corpulencia.

Platón es considerado como el padre del idealismo, la razón de esto no la vimos ese día, sino al siguiente.

It is necessary above all to consider our own knowledge; for if it is in our nature to know nothing, there is no need to inquire any further into other things. […] Pyrrho of Elis was also a powerful advocate of such a position. He himself has left nothing in writing; his pupil Timon, however, says that the person who is to be happy must look to these three points: first, what are things like by nature? second, in what way ought we to be disposed towards them? and finally, what will be the result for those who are so disposed? He [Timon] says that he [Pyrrho] reveals that things are equally indifferent and unstable and indeterminate (adiaphora kai astathmêta kai anepikrita); for this reason, neither our perceptions nor our beliefs tell the truth or lie (adoxastous kai aklineis kai akradantous). For this reason, then, we should not trust them, but should be without opinions and without inclinations and without wavering, saying about each single thing that it no more is than is not, or both is and is not, or neither is nor is not (ou mallon estin ê ouk estin ê kai esti kai ouk estin ê oute estin oute ouk estin). Timon says that the result for those who are so disposed will be first speechlessness (aphasia), but then freedom from worry (ataraxia); and Aenesidemus says pleasure. These, then, are the main points of what they say

Just a friendly reminder that "Plato" was a nickname that means "the broad" (his real name was Aristocles) and they called him that because he was fat. Or had a seriously giant forehead.
