“A crucial step [to philosophy] is getting confused about things. Not understanding what’s going on, and trying to articulate what your confusions are so that you can resolve them.” That’s all fine and whatever, but how tf you get past the confused step???

Happy to announce I built a Greek/English reader site with all the surviving plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, & Aristophanes. Multiple translations for each play; click to parse & define for any Greek word; full Greek & English search. greekdrama.johnhboyer.com

The Greek Drama Reader — Greek tragedy and comedy, Greek and English side by side

Read the Greek plays in the original Greek with a facing English translation, side by side — with click-to-parse morphology, dictionary lookup, citation, and full-text search across the corpus.

Did Emerson’s Self-Reliance with @CatherineProj tonight and had a common experience: reading the essay ahead of time, I did not care for it. But once discussing it, I found it is actually enormously rich. One of the best things about communal reading.

PS: Reading this with the @CatherineProj, which is a fantastic way to read such dense big books -- forces discipline, and the discussions bring out so much

P.P.S. LECTIO DIFFICILIOR POTIOR, "the more difficult reading is preferable", would be an excellent motto for @CatherineProj and other 'Great Books' programs. Read harder books! What's the best long read for a hibernating bear with insomnia? @zenahitz @JaycelAdkins @NZaidka

Such a delight leading seminars for the @CatherineProj - revisited the Meno last week for the first time in full since college. And was genuinely moved when I could tell the group, “Oh, this book really *did* change my life.”
