Mike: Wait, a minute, I say to myself, aren't
these the same guys who . . . ?
Sounds like a gaggle of ring-fingered,
medallion-wearing, hairy-chested types pulled from
the casino of a cruise ship--to lecture on
epistemology in Erewhon.
There were decent guys among this lot. We
wouldn't have Plutarch's _Lives of the Noble
Greeks and Romans_ if there weren't an interest in
virtue here. For example, Socrates (excluding
Brecht's account in "Socrates Wounded") was a
virtuous soldier in the battle of Marathon.
C'mon, a first big step away from Mesopotamian Sky
God madness: can't be all that bad.
