The Classroom
Welcome to the Class. Here, we'll explore some of the most influential/classical books and documents ever written on political philosophy, Religion, Literature, and more. Most importantly, we will try to understand their modern relevance.
This podcast serves two primary purposes, which I'd like to refer to as my "dual motivations." Firstly, it fulfills a personal and somewhat self-serving objective: to archive all the valuable insights and teachings I've received from my professor Ron Cline.
Secondly, I aim to safeguard Professor Ron's wisdom for not only my benefit but also for yours and that of future generations. The core concept involves creating an avenue for revisiting and absorbing his profound guidance whenever the need arises.
It's worth noting that this intention extends beyond Professor Ron's contributions; I am committed to earnestly preserving the teachings of any guest/educators who will appear on the podcast.
Yours, student

Euthyphro - (Socrates asks what is Piety/Holiness?)
In this Plato conversation called Euthyphro, Socrates met Euthyphro outside the court of Athens as Socrates was coming out from hearing charges of impiety against him, and Euthyphro was on his way to court to prosecute his own father for unintentionally killing a murderous hired hand.
Since Socrates was accused of impiety and Euthyphro was prosecuting his father for impiety, Socrates was curious to learn from Euthyphro what piety is.
Thank you for listening.
