Do tell, why is it your favorite book? I used to teach it, but haven't read
it now for 15, maybe 17 years (gaak). And I have to confess that it reading
The Apology of Socrates that got my interested in philosophy in the first
place. But in my more recent incarnations, I thought that Plato was inferior
to Aristotle; and I wouldn't take the whole of Plato's moral philosophyt, so
fara s I understand it, for two pages of the Nicomachean Ethics. I wouldn't
list any work of either either as my fav even in philosophy and social
theory, certainly not while Hegel's Phenomenology, Marx's Capital, or
Lukacs' HCC are around. On beyond philosophy of social theory: more favorite
than Milton or Shakespeare or Goethe or Dante or Chaucer or Homer? I mean
let's get real here.
