00:06:31,583 --> 00:06:33,this is my final year.
Can't afford any mistakes

00:06:36,167 --> 00:06:37,how is auntie doing?

00:06:39,917 --> 00:06:41,she invited you for dinner

00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:43,it's the anniversary of my dad's death

00:06:43,917 --> 00:06:45,that means we have to pray to that alter

00:06:46,417 --> 00:06:48,ancestors worship is
different from idol worship

00:06:48,042 --> 00:06:50,if you don't come again,
she'll think we have broken up

00:06:50,958 --> 00:06:52,we have

00:06:52,125 --> 00:06:54,you have fallen in love
with that Japanese writer

00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:56,even with someone long dead

00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,you are still jealous

00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:02,this is very kind of you

00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,like what they always say in Greece

00:07:05,458 --> 00:07:07,time is the best cure

00:07:08,208 --> 00:07:09,indeed

00:07:15,958 --> 00:07:17,class, attention please

00:07:17,042 --> 00:07:20,today is the first lecture
for the cultural studies class this year

00:07:21,167 --> 00:07:22,we are honored to have

00:07:22,583 --> 00:07:26,the distinguished professor Antonio ming
as your instructor

00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:27,he is a famous scholar in the areas of

00:07:27,958 --> 00:07:29,ancient Greek culture and utopian thought

00:07:29,083 --> 00:07:30,visiting from the Australian
national university

00:07:30,542 --> 00:07:32,wishing you all a great course this year

00:07:34,542 --> 00:07:35,thank you Dean

00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:39,I ** Antonio

00:07:40,208 --> 00:07:41,but you are welcome to call me brother ming

00:07:43,792 --> 00:07:45,to get things going, let's
do a little experiment

00:07:52,708 --> 00:07:55,those of you who are gay,
please raise your hands

00:08:01,833 --> 00:08:02,none?

00:08:04,458 --> 00:08:06,Okay, how about those of you who have had

00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,either gay sexual experiences or dreams?

00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:13,Also none

00:08:14,167 --> 00:08:16,surely some of you must have gay friends
or at least empathy for gays?

00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,Let me put it out there
then; I ** a homosexual!

00:08:30,167 --> 00:08:32,The ancient Greece of 2500 years ago

00:08:32,042 --> 00:08:35,was the era of socrates,
Plato and Aristotle

00:08:36,292 --> 00:08:39,it was a period in history
when mankind achieved

00:08:39,583 --> 00:08:41,the greatest leap in spiritual civilization

00:08:42,167 --> 00:08:45,our understanding today of freedom,
democracy and government

00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:48,is mostly coming from the theories
of those great philosophers

00:08:48,708 --> 00:08:50,what's that g***t to do with homosexuality?

00:08:50,833 --> 00:08:52,In those days

00:08:53,042 --> 00:08:54,all grown men not only had wives

00:08:55,375 --> 00:08:57,but if they were to be fully respected,
they had boyfriends too

00:08:57,958 --> 00:09:01,the more numerous, the younger

00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:04,the more handsome
and the more intelligent the better

00:09:04,083 --> 00:09:05,why?

00:09:05,125 --> 00:09:06,In those days, the exchanges between men

00:09:07,125 --> 00:09:10,from metaphysical
intelligence to physical s***x

00:09:10,167 --> 00:09:13,were not only legal,

00:09:14,583 --> 00:09:15,but also perceived to be noble

00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:16,professor

00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:18,can you please take down that image?

00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:20,Miss

00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:22,I think you are an adult

00:09:24,292 --> 00:09:27,and yet you are
uncomfortable viewing a male's body?

00:09:28,417 --> 00:09:29,No

00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:30,I just think you should respect

00:09:30,417 --> 00:09:32,the religious beliefs of some of us here

00:09:33,417 --> 00:09:34,are you catholic?

00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:35,Yes

00:09:35,792 --> 00:09:38,homosexuality is a sin.
Preaching homosexuality is sinister

00:09:38,083 --> 00:09:41,but didn't your pope recently say that

00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,"lf a person is gay

00:09:45,417 --> 00:09:47,and seeks god and has good will

00:09:48,542 --> 00:09:50,who ** I to judge them?"

00:09:52,542 --> 00:09:53,Who are you lady?

00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:05,In "the Republic", Plato said that

00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,in an ideal community
where schools flourish

00:10:07,292 --> 00:10:09,only music and mathematics should be taught

00:10:10,125 --> 00:10:12,there is a famous quote from socrates

00:10:13,125 --> 00:10:16,"an unexamined life is not worth living"

00:13:21,583 --> 00:13:22,come in

00:13:31,625 --> 00:13:32,professor

00:13:35,042 --> 00:13:36,please, call me brother ming

00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:37,yes, brother ming

00:13:38,125 --> 00:13:42,I came to apologize for
my girlfriend's impoliteness

00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:47,what's her name?

00:13:47,583 --> 00:13:48,309v

00:13:49,333 --> 00:13:52,is there a reason that one person
has to apologize for another living one?

00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:55,You are right

00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:57,but she has always been like that

00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:01,why didn't you leave when she left?

00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:06,That's another reason why I came

00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:07,oh?

00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:10,Young people these days

00:14:10,792 --> 00:14:12,seldom read the novels of mishima yukio

00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:15,really?

00:14:18,542 --> 00:14:20,It has been a while since
I last read them too

00:14:20,042 --> 00:14:21,it maybe time for me to revisit his work

00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,especially the final pieces, the tetralogy

00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:26,professor, no, I meant brother ming

00:14:26,375 --> 00:14:29,ls there a link between mishima's suicide

00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:30,and the martyrdom of socrates?

00:14:33,542 --> 00:14:37,Mishima was very complicated

00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:40,though he tried his best to explain himself

00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:42,he could hardly be understood

00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:46,socrates was far more
simple and straight forward

00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:47,the reason for his martyrdom

00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:50,was similar to that of the ancient
Christian, Saint Sebastian

00:14:51,125 --> 00:14:54,these people chose death

00:14:55,083 --> 00:14:55,as they believed

00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:58,they couldn't live a poetic life any more

00:14:59,083 --> 00:15:00,poetic?

00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:01,They were poets

00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,those poets cared only
about god's appraisal

00:15:04,667 --> 00:15:06,not the perspective of the secular world

00:15:08,625 --> 00:15:10,I think that the reason
you came to see me is that

00:15:10,625 --> 00:15:12,you are attracted by the works

00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:13,and the physicality of homosexuals

00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:14,so you are confused

00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:19,I have a girlfriend
and I don't doubt my sexual orientation

00:15:20,417 --> 00:15:22,but I have the same feelings
as the young mishima

00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:27,like the fascination with our own bodies

00:15:27,625 --> 00:15:31,masculine male bodies
have been showing up in my dreams

00:15:32,458 --> 00:15:33,following today's lecture

00:15:33,958 --> 00:15:36,I decided I want to learn more
about this aspect of myself
