in class

So this class we discussed Socrates again and how Euthyphro can not support himself in the argument at all. Euthyphro does a decent job in the beginning, but as the story continues he begins to only give Socrates one sentence or even one worded answers. You would think if one were confident they would not back down from the idea at hand. Socrates seems to also not back down either for the satisfaction of winning the argument and proving Euthyphro wrong, or because he truly cares... All in all, Euthyphro is unable to answer Socrates's questions, which results in the readers questions unanswered as well.

But honestly, i thought this story was interesting, and the more we explained it in class the more i understood it. I had already had a concrete understanding of it because i picked it apart, but it helps to discuss it and get opinions out in the classroom. The one paragraph on page 53 about the "it is something seen that it is seen, but the opposite: because it is seen, it is something seen..." I understand what he is saying, but I have no idea how to re explain that to any of you. The best way I can put it right now is; because someone sees whatever it is it is then seen, not that it is seen and then recognized is it seen... Aha man i have no idea how to put it. But I get it.

I would also like to say i am super pumped for Gilgamesh this week! and i promise not to eat my brochure during the show, only before and after will i attempt. (aha). See you all around campus and in class! Have a beautiful day!
