In today's bonus episode we have some additional notes taken by Kyrin while reading Plato's 'Republic'. These expand upon some of the deeper themes encountered in the book and there were not covered in the previously released episode of the actual book review. These include: Kyrin's personal opinions on 'justice' and the treatment it received in the dialogues, game theory and how modern knowledge and techniques can be applied to age old questions and the defects in Socrates' arguments as well as some of his faulty assumptions.Timeline:(0:00) - Introduction(0:53) - Justice is the repayment of debts(4:28) - Justice is the interest of the stronger(12:38) - Game theory applied to justice(15:05) - Thoughts on Socrates(16:58) - Faulty assumptions & ethical qualms(23:23) - Summary of the chapters(26:25) - An intriguing bookConnect with Mere Mortals:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcastSupport the show
