@pseuzieq
hello! That sounds compellingly strong and interesting. I'm curious about your thesis topic

@Cyborgneticz
So in Plato's sense of the ideal city, the spirited (in the sense of strength/prone to anger/action/activity/executive/protective) work together with the reasonable, to benevolently rule over raw desire (the people). Less ideal are the cases where the θυμοειδές-spirited joins up with desire instead of reason. Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy is less helpful with this than I would have thought.

@Cyborgneticz
you mean if philosophers stand for reason, which group, then, stands for spirit and which for desire? I think 'the people' in broader sense stand for desire/appetitive/the libidinal. And the spirit comes up in a regulatory capacity towards the libidinal, so the executive power, the police in a sense.

@Cyborgneticz
thrilling! do tell..

hello world 😶 This is a Cyprus-based cultural historian working on art & tech freedom among other things. These days I'm also thinking about #toys (or non-toys) #play and #criticalpaedagogy. I think I'm going to like it here #introductions #foss #art #culturalstudies #mediastudies
