Friday class

This evening in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy we discussed Plato's Republic and had a discussion about which culture had more impact on us - the Greek or the Roman and we watched a portion of the video from Intelligence Squared with Boris Johnson and Mary Beard. The quiz question from this is which side do you vote for: Greece or Rome? We also briefly covered the remaining dialogs in our syllabus for Plato and posed the quiz question should we keep the electoral college? (If you think what kind of government we have - representative democracy - republic - what role does the popular vote have or should have.)
