In response to the Editorial Board’s suggestion that Student Government Association candidates take a cue from philosophy to help inform their politics may we suggest they continue to support and perhaps join Saint Louis University’s Philosophy Club.
All majors, minors and lovers of wisdom are welcome to attend our weekly meeting held at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesdays at Laclede Street Bar & Grill. If Platonism is the philosophy of choice of the Editorial Board, then we are happy to hear it. After all Plato said “philosophers [must] become kings… or those now called kings [must]… genuinely and adequately philosophize” (The Republic, 5.473d).
