I am very happy to welcome students from Marina McCoy's course at Boston College entitled, Rhetoric: Truth, Beauty, Power. Professor McCoy is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Boston College who has written a wonderful book entitled Plato on the Rhetoric of Philosophers and Sophists. She joined me on the Digital Dialogue for episode 6: Attentive Listening in which we discussed the Protagoras and the idea of sympathetic listening she develops in her book.
To the students of Rhetoric: Truth, Beauty, Power, I would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of myself and my students.
As you will experience, the students in my PHIL200 Ancient Philosophy course have cultivated a very welcoming and lively community of dialogue and learning. I see already that some students from BC have joined the dialogue - thanks to Steph Fernandes and Chris Kirby for jumping right into the discussion.
We look forward to expanding our discussion of the Phaedrus with you, particularly as I know that you have been reading the dialogue too over the course of the past few class sessions.
