PLATO ANDARISTOTLE AND THEIR IDEAS The concept of justice as inequality was characteristic of the ancient sense of right in general and figured prominently in the writings of Plato and Aristo¬tle. The Stagira even went so far as to distinguish between rectificatory and distributive justice: the latter, .administered in accordance with deserts, merits, etc., is in fact nothing else than inequality. Both Plato and Aristotle have contributed a lot to the world of philosophy and world of politics. Plato has a special liking for politics. It is evident from his great work “The Republic”. In this work Plato signifies that the poets must be banished from the ideal republic. Because they are misguiding the young citizen of the state through their poetry, which is not about something real rather something vague.
I prefer Thales, one of the Seven Wise Men of Ancient Greece, whose surviving fragments include "water is the essence of all things", "everything is full of gods" and "put a fucking link in your posts".
Vizzini: ... heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons!
Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Deserts? Like the Sahara? What do deserts have to do with anything? I think this must be a post about badly executed plagiarism.
Plato 0 - The Caterer 1
I'm sorry, you want Philosophy101Filter. That's next door.
EEEEeeeeeemmanuel Kant was a real piss ant who was very rarely stable . . .

I prefer Heraclitus who was famous for saying "A man can't eat the same pudding twice, because after he eats it the first time it turns into poop, which sometimes can look like pudding, but that doesn't mean you should eat it, for God's sake Gerald, don't make me tell you again, all you have to do is smell it to know it's not edible."
I like poo poo!
I prefer Xeno who was famous for saying that if you take the distance the start of a good FPP and the completion of that that good FPP, and divide it into half, and then divide those halves into halves, and so on, you'll never reach that point where the FPP is completed, but instead it'll just be half-assed.
I prefer Conrad, philosopher-poet of the late atomic age, who said "All beings are stupid, human beings doubly so. Now get me a drink and turn off that damned alarm."
SOCRATES: So, tell me, Doug, as a plumber, would you say you know what channel-lock pliers are?
DOUG: Fuckin'-A ditty bag, Socky. *belch*
SOCRATES: Please tell me, then, what are channel-lock pliers?
DOUG: *digs in his bag* Here you go. Pretty handy. I've got, I dunno, three pair.
SOCRATES: But could you define for me what channel lock pliers are?
DOUG: Yeah, they're pliers that look like this.
SOCRATES: No, I'm trying to get you to give me an essential definition of channel-lock pliers. To define what makes them channel-lock pliers and not, say, needle-nose pliers or grozers or a sheep.
DOUG: You fucking kidding me with this?
SOCRATES: No, I only meant as an example --
DOUG: You don't know the difference between these and a fucking sheep?
SOCRATES: Well, that's actually the point I was ultimately trying to get to, that we don't really know --
DOUG: Seriously? Look. Pliers. No wool or balls or bleating or shit or anything. Steel and rubber. You can't tell the difference?
SOCRATES: Well, I'm saying that we think we know the --
DOUG: You're a moron, aren't you? Fucking pliers, right here. *fart*
SOCRATES: *gag* Pardon me. I need to -- HEY, EUTHYPHRO, WAIT UP!
DOUG: One of these days I'm going to really kick that guy's ass.
MCT are you sure that wasn't Diverticulitus you were quoting in the first example?
I think this is a self link, suresh01, or should I say PLATO?!?
I am a follower of Epicurus myself. Someone pass the bourbon *hic*
I believe it was Epictetus who said: "Motherfucker, I love me some sorghum on my biscuits."
No wait, shit, it was Anaximander, and he actually said, "Hey, baby, Zeus is totally on my cock."
A word of caution: Plato will harden into unusability if left out overnight. It is also a bitchcake to get out of berber carpet.
I hadn't heard of this "Andaristotle" character, so I Googled him. I rest my case.
The interesting thing about Socrates is that his name is actually pronounced "Sew Crates". Most philosophers don't know this and get annoyed when you go up to them and say: "Read much Sew Crates?" or "How about that Sew Crates?"
I'm actually not a big Sew Crates fan. But I like Platto.
Actually the classical Greek pronunciation is closer to "bob-thee-gote-mow-less-ter." They'll recognize that.
Holy crap I just got pete's joke. I'll shut up now.
Plato thought nature but a spume that plays
Upon a ghostly paradigm of things;
Solider Aristotle played the taws
Upon the bottom of a king of kings;
World-famous golden-thighed Pythagoras
Fingered upon a fiddle-stick or strings
What a star sang and careless Muses heard:
Old clothes upon old sticks to scare a bird.
w.b. "wild bill" yeats, Among School Children
BILL: Philosphize with him, dude!
TED: (to Socrates) All we are, is dust in the wind, dude. Dust. Wind. Dude.
God I fucking love this place.
God I love "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."
And this place.
God I love fucking this place.
This place faked every orgasm.
I didn't think anyone took Plato's philosophy seriously once she posed for Playboy and went on that drugs-and-robbery binge.
Huh.
was it a drugs-and-robbery binge? Or do you just believe it was a drugs-and-robbery binge? Mmm?
However if it was revealed that Plato was really Courtney Love, I think I would plotz
TELL ME we don't have to have an ontological examination of Courtney Love. Or any kind of examination, for that matter.
Esp. if tennenho is involved.
*shudder*
Oh, I hope this link works! (mp3)
The sound effects guy in the Police Academy movies would be less impressive in person than he is on television or in the movies because in person I would hear the sound coming from him and look at him first for the sound.
what?
I think Chyren is having a philosophical crisis....
I think I would like to be in a philosophical SWAT squad. And when people make bad arguments, we'd surround them and shout in their faces.
Capt. Renault: I'm just plain flattered.
Again with the crap links then not hanging round for the abuse!
Fuck that makes me angry!
Come back here suresh01! We want to get philosophical on yo ass!
Kit, we don't need your scatological approach here.
Gettit? SCAT-ological? You eatin' poop?
Nevermind.
*passes poop sammich*
You want a bite? It's got sweetcorn in it.
Oh C'mon Cap'n don't hassle kit just because you Kant cut the (philosophical) mustard!
MuwahAhahAhahAaaaa!!
He's a goddaaam coward, is what he is!
Shitting on our front page, and not even butty-worthy poo at that!
Let the smear campaign begin.
His blog? Apparently Suresh, too, is a fan of the poop sammich.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
Great find.
Heidiggeround in it, but I can't find any info in that blog.
Descarted it around for a while, but it ended up on the front page, pete.
Well, I at least I admire your quick Wittgenstein.
He has found the right Nietzche.
You Burke.
What did Hume say?
I've read my Kant, and Wittgenstein,
My Nietzche and my Burke,
They helpeth me in daily life
And guide me in my Worke...
The Greeks, enlightened as they were,
Shared wisdom still profound,
And Thomas Hobbes doth help me keep
My feet upon the ground.
But true as guidance theirs may be,
Sound their philsophies,
'Tis he whom I heed most of all,
My favorite,
Testicles.
Good night, and good luck.
Full Marx.
*applause*
Yes, but does Xeno you're clapping?
That's what I'm a-Freud of.
Watch the scat humor; Jung ones are present.
Ah, don't get your Leotard in a knot.
Ahh go Homer somewhere else.
Pst. Hey. You'a lookin'a for summa theologiaes? I make you an offer you can't refute.
