I must disagree with you view of philosophy. Remember Ns remarks at the beginning of BG: let us suppose truth is a woman and why not? Is not it clear that to the extent all philosophers have been dogmatists they have not really understood women. What N is alluding to here relates to the etymology of philo-sophie. The love of wisdom, sophie, who is a women and who can be possessed. Modern 'philosophers' are labourers to be sure.

I love that this begins with a powerful phrase from Shostakovich. If I made a video -- I would do the same !

I love how Plato described how democracy will turn into a tyranny by a single man. Read it and see how well he has described OBAMA, the smiling friend of the poor, who destroys democracy. Read it - you'll see history predicted!

i would recommend reading Russell`s problems of philosophy first .like all books by the greatest minds the republic is not easy although it was written with the intention of being understood on many levels but with hard work, patience, and a clear mind those layers can be pealed
