In the first episode of Canon Fodder, I read Plato’s Protagoras and wrestle with its central question: can virtue be taught?
This is less a lecture and more a reading journal: what the dialogue is about, why Protagoras is more interesting than the usual “sophist” caricature, and what I walked away thinking about virtue, education, and moral formation.
