Teaching, On Plato

Today at Berkeley in my "Patriarchal Conventions and Convictions in Greek and Roman Rhetoric" we take up Gorgias and Phaedrus (with Protagoras Socrates' key anti-sophistical trilogy, though the Platonic constitution of philosophy through the disavowal of rhetoric of recurs deliriously throughout the dialogues). Inching our way toward mid-term already, and it looks like whatever sleep disorder made the first two weeks of these intensives a hellscape is sorting itself out at last.
