For Max Bluestone In Memoriam

Do you accept the community of the women with the men in education, children, and guarding the rest of the citizens; and that both when they are staying in the city and going out to war, they must guard and hunt together like dogs, and in so far as possible have everything in every way in common; and that in doing this they'll do what's best and nothing contrary to the nature of the female in her relationship with the male, nothing contrary to the natural community of the two with each other? Plato, Republic, Book V, 466d.
Christian morality... introduced into the world the purest idea of marriage, and the most perfect form of domesticity.... Plato's view on the contrary misled him... to an utter destruction of both; and this is what every individual of sound mind... would gladly erase out of his work, even to the very last trace.... [H]ere is concentrated all that was mistaken in the development of the Hellenic mind.
Friedrich Schleiermacher, Introductions to the Dialogues of Plato
