Transcendental - Conception - Of - Plato

Rating: ★5.0

Autoplay

ForKarl Marx,
like his
mentor Hegel,

values are simply
made-up, social
constructions
dependent upon
the politics and
the customs of
time and place.

Plato repudiated
this viewin
favour of a
transcendental
conception of
justice, one that
is independent
of transitory
human institutions.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Dominic Windram 27 April 2020

As a former student of philosophy I'm intrigued by this poem. I think you make a valid point here Tony. Although I certainly wouldn't underestimate the influence of Marx, it's true Plato believed in eternal forms like justice as opposed to fleeting, contemporaneous impressions. I give you a 10 for your efforts! It's so refreshing to read a philosophy inspired poem on this site.
