In Xenophon’s Symposium (yes, Xenophon has a Symposium too!) he starts out with the statement that it is worth being mindful of the activities of “truly good” people (kaloikagathoi) even when they are relaxing and fooling around, and not just in their serious endeavours. At one point the banqueters decide that they will discuss what each of them thinks is most worth knowing (3.3), and behind the question—and the joking that goes with it— seems to lie the serious question: what does it mean to be a truly good person; that is, what sort of knowledge makes one a truly good person? So, what do you think?
All are welcome.
