Watching now: fascinating discussion of Plato, Greek political thought, and the politics of Chinese readings of the Classics.
And how not to say ‘excuse me’ in Mandarin @ShadiBartsch @wmarybeard @Helen_Meany
And you can still enjoy brilliant conversations online, between @ShadiBartsch and @wmarybeard on #PlatoGoesToChina and the Classical inheritance, and our opening event on #GreekMyth with #HelenMorales and @samccart1. No booking required, watch anytime:
