I wonder if these new posters are him? Diva, a few years ago you used to have a poster named Ethnocentrist and he was very adversarial and mean at times. I wonder if these new posters are him?

Aristophanes and Euripides were writers of comedies and tragedies. They were not considered philosophers; although, what they wrote may have had a philosophical bent.

I see no reason to sneer at Dr King's juxtaposition of Euripides and Aristophanes with contemporaneous philosophers -- and yes, he did receive a PhD. That sneer is also unwarranted. What exactly is your agenda, here, legein? Although the Comedies of Aristophanes (for example) are not essentially philosophical, they are hardly removed from reality.

I would move on by Greece, and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality." It is a great speech. However, Euripides and Aristophanes hardly discussed issues of reality. I think Martin Luther King's PhD (if he actually received one) was not in history or the Classics. “I wouldn’t stop there.

I know you were asked for the address but you could have just posted it without the insults. If people want to visit your blog, they can just click on your name if you link to it. legein, I find it very rude that you advertise your blog here at the same time as being insulting towards the place that has given you a platform for your opinions.
