You think you love music? You have nothing on the Ancient Greek obsession. Every aspect of Greek life was punctuated by song: history, poetry, theater, sports and even astronomy. In fact, music was so important to Greek philosopher Plato that he claimed the music we listen to directly affects our ethics. Tim Hansen wonders what Plato might have to say about the music we listen to today. Lesson by Tim Hansen

now you see the origins of the greek mythologycal ways of belief dated back to 4292 BC, so you see the ancient egyptians thought that looking at string theory, it looks like the ancient Greeks were right about musical harmony affecting the workings of the universe. how much reliable information do we have about what actual Classical Greek music sounded like? lets awnser that wiht a quick awnser, now you see the ancient Mayans had another way of looking at music: The music you love, reflects your personality. There is no causal relationship, but there is very high correlation between them. The music you listen to, depends on your personality, which then augments it further and then the snowball grows bigger and bigger. Ever seen a rock and roll star dressed like a lawyer? No, because the music fits a certain culture, and culture leads to difference in thoughts and actions. Music not only affects ethics, it affects cultures, it can empower, it can destroy.
It should be established that Plato gave Socrates the credit for the quotes that were being used!
Furthermore that this was part of the republic in which there was dialogue regarding music's influence on a Utopian society. ALL of which was a deviation in a broader conversation which was to bring about an answer to the question, What is justice? (The Repulic, Plato; Part III, S. 1d, Translator H. LEE, Penguin Books) Slandering a person is illegal, slandering history is irreparable. I suggest that citations be required for these videos. Making snazy video's is one thing, but being able to find out the information that was provided should be the goal. i mean if you really are about educating people. Agree with Michael, it is too much focus on western culture. I think before the Greek era, in Mezopotamia, egypt, India, china, the music had been evolved first. blah blah blan

Why does TED let people with speech impediments be narrators? It's ANNOYING! (Couldn't they find someone without a lisp)
