Comment: Nomos, Technos, Phronesis; and they all fight it out to see who should rule the City. - Welcome to Hell. ...The Eleatic Stranger (Visitor/Guest) appears in only two Platonic Dialogues; The Statesman and the Sophist. But never forget, Socrates is going to die. No matter who rules. His coming condemnation, and the subterranean critique of Socrates by the Stranger need to be seen together. Are Sophist, Statesman and Philosopher one or two or three? A not unrelated question, btw: Are the Stranger, Socrates and Plato one or two or three? That is: Is Socrates, or is it the Stranger, or is it perhaps Plato himself that is a Sophist, a Statesman, or a Philosopher, or a mixture of these? (Keep in mind that Nietzsche, in "Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks' called Plato the first 'mixed type".) The question do the Sophist, Statesman, Philosopher "constitute a triad, may be considered as answered. They are but two." Or so old Jacob Klein here maintains; but in the extraordinary exchange of letters between Kojeve and Leo Strauss (in 'On Tyranny') Kojeve maintains that the Stranger is merely a Sophist while Strauss doubts this pointing out that the Stranger is no mere parrot (of the Parmenidean ONE) when he maintains that Philosopher-Sophist-Stateman are three. But perhaps Strauss will forgive us for thinking that the gist of his remarks (and the Strangers) lead one to think that our Philosopher is a Triad, i.e., a One-in-Three. As Stanley Rosen pointed out, regarding Tejera, "I found more difficult his claim that the Stranger is intended to represent sophistry. The thesis would have been more persuasive if Tejera had faced up to the sophistical component within philosophy." I continue to think that the Stranger = Sophist view is wrong, but I also think it needs to be addressed in a book length essay.

Bill Bryson’s big book of everything. Reviewing travel-writer Bill Bryson’s ”At Home” amounts to an even bigger waste of time than even the standard internet book review represents. The book collects disparate bits of mostly historical trivia from every aspect of civilization. So the question of whether you will enjoy it depends on which section you read. Bryson’s discussion of the oddities of human vitamin needs (apparently humans and guinea pigs represent the sole species unable to produce vitamin C) rates highly on the interesting scale while the secret history of furniture design (Chippendale never made money at it despite his excellent designs) eh, not so much. He crispy handles some tales such as the building of the Erie Canal (”so the Erie Canal remains the only major canal built by people who learned to build canals by building a canal”). While with others, he severely overestimates the reader’s willingness to mire in the scummier parts of civilization (every icky detail of the evolution of human sewage practices from civilizations 10,000 years ago until the book’s publishing date). The one general statement that can be made is that Bryson displays a strong morbid curiosity and dwells overlong in the unpleasantness of early medicine, the spread and symptoms of various diseases and the aforementioned unleavened history of human sewage. Also, the book, or large parts at least, presume a familiarity with England and to some degree Scotland and Wales placenames that may leave American readers asking ”where”,. The book also presents interesting word etymology; for example origins of the term ”big wig”. Apparently, during the ridiculous 150 year period during which men whore wigs, wig size indicated status. A number of these explanations pepper the book and probably represent its most valuable contribution. The book offers some of the moments Bryson specializes in where he presents a story and then joins the readers in their likely reaction: disbelief, horror, amusement, etc. Again, the discussion of the ludicrous men’s 18th century fashions (wigs, heavy makeup, buckles, bows, etc.) provides some moments for Bryson to laugh along conspiratorially with us. So where does ”At Home” rank among the Bryson catalog. It clearly does not live up to his best ”In a Sunburned Country”, or ”A Walk in the Woods”. However, once it gets over a slow start and before devolving into the ugly later pages, it definitely exceeds his dull ”Notes from a Small Island.”. In short, feel free to pick it, read some passages and skip others, put it down, return to it later or not.
