Ethics 2009


"Piety is less like chicken and more like gravity...I bet you never thought of that as an example." (Piety might be a concrete object, and other Euthyphro weirdness.)


"Was anyone else annoyed by Socrates?" (Hands raise left and right.) "Now you know why the Athenians poisoned him."


"Socrates would go in, confuse them all, and go 'all right, my work here is done."'
