Thank you, very insightful & interesting. Listened to half of the lectures of Vervaeke (sorry John ;-). The connection you made with the meaning crisis and Platos Republic really sparked my interest.

I am not an academic so I hope I will be able to understand and keep up with this lecture series under your ‘guidance’.

Is it ok if I use Christopher Rowe’s translation (penguin)? I have a hardcopy+the audible version, this to increase understanding as a Dutch guy reading Plato in English.

Thank you very much Jur! It should be accessible especially if you are reading along with the text. I have not read the Rowe translation myself so can't say for certain, I generally recommend Alan Bloom or the G.M.A Grube edition, but I'm sure for a first go the Rowe one would be fine.

This was absolutely outstanding and helped frame why Plato speaks to our current moment. I will share this with people when they are considering why the should read The Republic.
