[MD] The Greeks?

[Mary]

Hi Everyone,

 

I don't get what all the fuss is about.  Does it matter to the MoQ whether
the Intellectual Level existed before or after Socrates?  Is there some
critical point of order I'm missing?  I don't get the significance of the
argument about what 'arete' is.  Is it really necessary for every person to
make an intensive study of Greek culture before claiming to have knowledge
of the MoQ?  If you say that we used to have the ability to reason without
subjects and objects, then lost it - so what?  We had it, we didn't have it,
only some cultures have it, nobody has it . ok.  I'm fine with any or all of
the above.  The argument doesn't seem to have anything to do with the value
of the MoQ itself.
