<p>This week is a musical hiatus from reading and analysis, because I have been working on my exams. Next week, normal programming will resume. But please enjoy this brief exploration of the medieval music of The Consolation. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Philosophy lectures Boethius on the false promise of power, and George Orwell answers her on whether the powerful can indeed get to the rational man.</p>

<p>Philosophy takes Boethius to task for his love of glory. She reminds him of the fleeting nature of human life, and the impermanence of fame. This is the last of the four false pursuits of happiness: wealth, power, pleasure, and honour (as Aristotle would have called them). We get a visit from Carl Sagan, at the end, echoing Philosophy's counsel on the foolishness of glory.</p>

<p>In this podcast, I will be outlining the theory of Forms, beginning with why Plato might have concocted the theory in the first place, moving next to what exactly the theory is and how it works, and finishing up with an analysis of the criticisms of the Forms offered by Parmenides (primarily), and a few others since.&nbsp;</p>
This podcast is a compilation and minor re-edit, of three blog posts originally posted in 2018. These blog posts are more-or-less a transcript of the podcast, in case you want to read along:
* [Theory of Forms, Part 1](/post/plato-parmenides-and-the-theory-of-forms-part-1/)
* [Theory of Forms, Part 2](/post/plato-parmenides-and-the-theory-of-forms-part-2/)
* [Theory of Forms, Part 3](/post/plato-parmenides-and-the-theory-of-forms-part-3/)

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, and welcome to the first in a new series of Exiting The Cave short reads, made available exclusively to my Locals community. If you want to continue listening, you can sign up at this link: https://exitingthecave.locals.com</p>
<p>This feature begins with a series on "The Consolation of Philosophy", by Anicus Manlius Severinus Boethius. Each episode will consist of a reading of one or two chapters in sequence, followed by a brief commentary offering a few insights into the text. Boethius' chapters are very short. Each consists of a single section of verse, followed by a passage of narration. So, each episode is likely to be around 15 minutes long. There are a total of 5 books, or 39 chapters. So, this series should last us a while, given one reading per week!</p>

<p>The first episode covers both chapters one and two, of Book one. I am making this episode available to all comers to the Exiting the Cave community page, to provide a taste of what awaits those who are generous enough to support what I do</p>
