@dushu2017 @seth_benardete I think you're right that it can refer to a political reality. In the Iliad Agamemnon had unlimited power and he fell victim to his hubris. I'll guess that the unlimited here is eros, and that Socrates was hubristic concerning this gift that 'was somehow given by a god' to him.

[Don McClure @donaldhmcclure]

At a certain point the unlimited takes over and logos falls silent. There's nothing you can say about it. And the crucial thing is to see that you don't let the unlimited encroach on a realm where in fact it doesn't belong.

@dushu2017 @seth_benardete It is. I think it's pointing at something that can't be well-understood –– a god, an archetype or the like.

Good luck with everything.

@dushu2017 Strauss once lectured that the philosopher of the future "is an atheist, but an atheist who is waiting for a god who has not yet shown himself." Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism, p. 41.

[Don McClure @donaldhmcclure]

@dushu2017 He talked about the theological-political problem but in an esoteric way that goes over my head a lot. I think he's considered an atheist.

Moishe, seated next to David, dropped his Hagadah, but then pounced upon it hastily, and for the rabbi's benefit, kissed it and looked about with an expression of idiotic piety.

@grrls_sxy_shoes @Toure A white man who punches an Asian man because he hates Asians is racist, as is a black man who punches an Asian man because he hates Asians, as is a white woman who thinks only the white man is a racist.
Your heart is in the right place, though, & I hope you do positive things.

[Don McClure @donaldhmcclure]

@veganonthelow @Toure Meaning are white men really villains? We've done and are doing much injustice but I believe it's wrong to otherize us and contemptible to tolerate it.
