wuzzie 12-Apr-08, 15:57	rilke, it was false Plato was not the only one to write about Socrates, but probably the most famous one. Xenophon also wrote about him, and especially Aristophanes, who gave a more critical, less idealised picture of the man! But most people only know of Socrates via Plato, who is still pleasant to read Marx und das Kapital: True: Marx died before he could finish his work, so Engels finished and edited the book. They also wrote some other very nice books so here is my next statement Marx wrote in his younger years 'Die Deutsche Ideologie' where he replied the theories of Fuerbach in the famous 11 theses on Feuerbach. The most famous one to be: until now the world is only interpreted, but we ought to change the world instead. A) True  False
rilke 13-Apr-08, 08:10	Thanks wuzzie Thx for the correction wuzzie. I do remember now Aristophanes who wrote "The clouds" who made fun of Socrates. I think I have in mind the famous "The Trial of Socrates' by Plato/which was a must read in our Philosophy class ( and the "Crito"too).
