  • Dr. Matthew Post addresses the “problem of the poets” and how anyone can invent a cosmology and in turn invent a world for those who are persuaded by it.  As a classical educator, how do you confront this problem?
  • Socrates had a way of provoking a person to reveal something about themselves, and then criticizing in an abstract way to get the person to see how they think something is wrong. How might this help you to turn a student toward the true, the good and the beautiful?
  • Discuss how ambition turns the healthy city into a feverish city.
  • How should an ambitious person be educated?
  • What advantage does the bronze-souled person have over the gold-souled person? Discuss the three kinds of human beings and the parts of the soul represented by these kinds.  Discuss why it is important to not become too dogmatic with the application of these types.
