Karl Popper/Talk

To begin with I like a lot of Popper stuff and think that "The Open Society" is a great book in lots of ways, but.... I don't know any professional classicists who think that his take on Plato holds water. There may be some philosophers who do, but I wonder if they're specialists in Ancient (i.e., read Plato {1} in Greek and {2} for anything other than a 100-level course. I am far from thinking that one should defer to specialists, but the tone of dismissiveness from classicists is significant. --MichaelTinkler
