how good is he at relaying platonic thought?
>>25254417Apuleius is like if the Arabian Nights were written by Plato. He is a great writer. We already had a thread on him like 2 months ago where we went through the whole novel. Search the archive.
>>25255028>Arabian NightsSo he mixes Plato with cuck porn?
>>25255028I'm not talking about the golden ass though, I mean his book on platonic philosophy. I've been giving it a whirl but honestly he's a little clumsy when it comes to explaining plato's dogmata methinks
>>25255343I read the Apology of his nonfiction works. It was really really boring.
>>25255035that seems unfathomably kino
>>25255366yeah reading heady stuff is pretty boring fr
>>25255343>the golden assNeat that‘s what I try to think about when I‘m trying to fall asleep.
>>25254417Worse enough to draw the attention of plato’s patterns from across the informational graph of the void
>>25257158Apologia is a legal defense against his in laws who accused him of using dark magic to entice their daughter. It's basically all stuff like "I own a mirror but I don't use it to perform black magic with. I just look at myself in it." It's extremely boring.
>>25257583if that was put into a true crime slop vid, you'd be eating it upneck
>>25257588The entire thing is available to read for yourself here.https://faculty.georgetown.edu/jod/apuleius/transold.htmlAt best, it is interesting as a historical curio from when black magic and witchcraft was suspected of anyone who bought a mirror or certain fish. It is not the most exhilarating read.
>>25257583Think OP means the other text on Plato
