Description
How do we bring "many perceptions together into a reasoned unity" and does this require that we understand speech "in terms of general forms"? These are among the questions that Socrates invited us to consider, as we did in this March 28, 2021 live recording of a meeting of the Toronto Philosophy, Calgary Philosophy, and Online Rebels Meetup groups. During the course of our dialogue, covering the first part of The Phaedrus to 257(b), we explored the multifaceted nature of the soul and the language that the soul uses to communicate meaning, as we also explored Plato's theory of forms.
