Apologies

Plato here, philosopher king of ancient Athens, and I'd like to apologize for the state of Western philosophy since the 5th century BC.

Specifically:

• For the lack of actual answers in my dialogues, leaving readers to fill in the gaps with their own brand of madness
• For the overemphasis on reason and the neglect of actual, you know, feelings
• For the whole "Theory of Forms" thing, which is just a fancy way of saying "I have no idea what's going on, but I'll just make something up"

But don't just take my word for it! Check out the subpage on Self-Defense for more on how I've come to terms with my own philosophical shortcomings.

Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, navigate to Regrets for a look at the dark corners of my philosophical soul.
