In Response

In response to my last post, David Johnson said: "Rather than 'The unexamined life is not worth living,' perhaps what Socrates meant to say was 'The examined life, for those lucky enough to pursue it, is especially satisfying.'" I agree that this may have been what he wanted to say, but the fact that he did make that slip suggests that he did look down upon those who had to toil. I do not know much about Socrates, but just from that statement, he does sound like he feels that because he is an intellectual that he is a higher person. I am not sure if this really was the case, but that is just the impression that I get.

And I am looking very foreward to ending our discussions on work and moving on to animal ethics!
