Note that this is not the *Aristotle* Society, so that McEvoy's question,
>is there a Plato Society?
is perhaps a red herring (metaphorically speaking).
Note that, while Popper deemed Plato superior to Aristotle, yet he (Popper,
not Plato nor Aristotle) cared to preside the Aristotelian Society (rather
than found an alternative Platonic Society to preside).>
But 'The Platonic Society' might have worried their wives as to what they got
up at their other societies. And 'Platonian' sounds wrong, like it was
dedicated to a little-known element or neglected age in an epoch of a geologic
period.
