a blog is :
an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on
and philosophy is:
- Love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.
- Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
- A system of thought based on or involving such inquiry: the philosophy of Hume.
- The critical analysis of fundamental assumptions or beliefs.
- The disciplines presented in university curriculums of science and the liberal arts, except medicine, law, and theology.
- The discipline comprising logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology.
- A set of ideas or beliefs relating to a particular field or activity; an underlying theory: an original philosophy of advertising.
- A system of values by which one lives: has an unusual philosophy of life.
By this virtue i think Plato would indeed have been a blogger. The ability to express ones thoughts and views on any subject and have it constructivly commented on by many people who may or may not agree. This ability to publish your inner thoughts i think would have interested Plato and others like him.
You can only truely understand your beliefs and values when questioned about them.
If Plato was a blogger just imagine the work he could have achieved in his life time. Able to place a theory out there and instantly get questions about it , refining the theory and reposting. This would have sped up the proccess to the Nth degree.
