Upcoming Lecture--February 24

I'll be attending this lecture and will give my reactions to it and the commentary on Friday.

My apologies if not all the symbols below and graphics appear on your screen. In the future I'll post such things as graphics pieces. (It will take a few days to get the kinks out.)

By the way, if you need further information, you can contact Prof. Gary Gurtler, Philosophy, Boston College: gurtlerg@bc.edu.

I expect to be posting some excerpts soon from Gavin Colvert's commentary, the main point of which, if I understood it correctly, is that the Laws is a dialogue, not a legal treatise, and therefore its claims need to be interpreted according to the usual ways of reading a Platonic dialogue. Colvert challenged Pradeau to explain how he had taken this into account.
