Socrates The phrase Socratic paradox can refer to two separate things. I know that I know nothing main I know that I know nothing The more common usage refers to an object or idea whose very existence, or acknowledgment, is a paradox . Its name is derived from a quote of Socrates from the Republic , where he says, I know that I know nothing I know nothing at all . ref s The Republic Book I Plato, the Republic . Book I. ref The question that arises is how he knows that he knows nothing, if this is the only information he possesses. It is also mentioned in Plato s Apology Plato Apology . ref Plato, Apology 20c 24b. ref Secondary usage The secondary usage refers to statements of Socrates that Socrates Socratic paradoxes seem contrary to common sense , such as that no one desires evil. ref p. 14, Terence Irwin , The Development of Ethics , vol. 1, Oxford University Press 2007 p. 147, Gerasimos Santas, The Socratic Paradoxes , Philosophical Review 73 1964 , pp. 147 64. ref In this usage, the term does not refer to a strict paradox, but rather to either of two surprising and unacceptable conclusions drawn from the Socratic dialogues of Plato i the startling consequence of Socrates association of knowledge and virtue, according to which nobody ever does wrong knowingly ii the view that nobody knows what they mean when they use a term unless they can provide an explicit definition of it. Although this last is sometimes called the Socratic fallacy, this can be regarded as being uncharitable to Socrates, whose concern was not simply with meaning, but more with notions like justice or reason, for which our inability to provide principles may well reflect ignorance and muddle.

cleanup date September 2007 Socratic Puzzles is a collection of essays by Libertarianism libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick . It was published in 1997 by Harvard University Press . Synopsis Introduction Nozick disclaims the title political philosopher and characterizes his Anarchy, State, and Utopia as an accident that came about because he was getting nowhere working on the problem of free will. He discusses his reverence for Socrates , and his intellectual debts to Sidney Morgenbesser and Carl Hempel . At the most consequential party I ever attended, someone told him about a problem posed by a physicist in California, William Newcomb . Nozick brought this problem into the literature of decision theory rational choice theory . He describes the influence of decision theory on Anarchy, State, and Utopia s derivation of the state from individuals actions, and its game theoretic analysis of utopia and especially in The Nature of Rationality , where he proposed a decision value alternative to maximizing expected utility and also extended decision theory to issues about rational belief. He concludes the introduction by talking about philosophy as a way of life. Although being philosophical in the ordinary sense wasn t his motivation for entering philosophy, he found himself being philosophical when diagnosed with stomach cancer and informed about the dire statistics, adding parenthetically an anecdote about the operation in which much of his stomach was removed, blockquote I maintain it was not a complaint when the first words I said to the surgeons upon coming up from anaesthesia after seven hours were, I hope we don t have to do this again.

Italic title Dialogues of Plato The Clitophon also Cleitophon is a dialogue generally ascribed to Plato , though there is some disagreement regarding its Authentication authenticity . It is the shortest of the Socraticdialogue dialogues , and is significant for focusing on Socrates role as an exhorter of other people to engage in philosophic inquiry. The dialogue features two participants, Clitophon and Socrates, and the central feature of the discussion is Clitophon s lengthy complaint about Socrates. The crux of this complaint is that, while no one excels Socrates in protreptic or exhortation to the virtues and the life of philosophy, no one is more useless to one already persuaded of their importance. Socrates does not respond, or the dialogue does not contain his response. Reception Some scholars doubt the authenticity of the Clitophon because as we have it today Socrates does not emerge victorious in the verbal battle. One school of thought in favor of its authenticity thinks that Plato wrote it, but then decided to have the argument in the Republic . This interpretation holds that the dialogue is the rare piece of esoterica or not meant for publication. The dialogue has also been interpreted as a finished piece of the Platonic corpus, intended to be read in the version which we currently possess. In fact the ancient tradition never questioned the dialogue s authenticity, and it is referred to as Plato s work by Olympiodorus the Younger Olympiodorus , Apuleius , Hippolytus and Alcinous philosopher Alcinous . Suspicion about the Clitophon seems to have arisen in the Renaissance, when Marsilio Ficino wrote hic liber non est Platonis at the head of his translation of the dialogue ... recent scholarship has regarded the dialogue as authentic, including articles by Mark Kremer, David ... mind regarding the dialogue s authenticity twenty years after his Doctoral dissertation spoke against ... .

italic title Dialogues of Plato Platonism Euthydemus Euthydemos , written 380 BCE, is dialogue by Plato which satirizes what Plato presents as the logical fallacies of the Sophism Sophists . It describes a visit paid by Socrates and various youths to two brothers, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, both of whom are prominent Sophists . The main purpose of Euthydemus is to contrast Socrates Socratic argumentation and education with those of Sophists Sophism , to the detriment of the latter. As in many of the Socraticdialogue dialogues , the two Sophists whom Socrates argues against, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, were indeed real people. Euthydemus was somewhat famous at the time the dialogue was written, and is mentioned several times by both Plato and Aristotle . Likewise, Dionysodorus is mentioned by Xenophon . The dialogue contrasts Socrates manner with that of the brothers. Throughout the dialogue, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus continually attempt to ensnare Socrates with what are presented as deceptive and meaningless arguments, primarily to demonstrate their professed philosophy philosophical superiority. Eristic argument Plato defines Euthydemus and Dionysodorus argumentation as eristic . This literally means designed for wrangling eris meaning strife in Greek . No matter how one attempts to refute eristic arguments, the argument is designed so that any means of refutation will fail. For example, at one point, Euthydemus attempts to prove the impossibility of falsehood. blockquote Non facts do not exist do they? No, they don t.

About a Platonic dialogue other uses of the term Statesman disambiguation italic title Dialogues of Plato Platonism The Statesman Ancient Greek language Greek Polytonic wikt , Politikos , also known by its Latin title, Politicus , is a Socraticdialogue written by Plato . The text describes a conversation among Socrates , the mathematician Theodorus of Cyrene Theodorus , another person named Socrates referred to as Young Socrates , and an unnamed philosopher from Velia Elea referred to as the Stranger Polytonic Xenos Greek , x nos . It is ostensibly an attempt to arrive at a definition of statesman , as opposed to sophist or philosopher and is presented as following the action of the Sophist dialogue Sophist . According to John M. Cooper, the dialogue s intention was to clarify that to rule or have political power called for a specialized knowledge. ref Cooper and Hutchinson. Introduction to Politikos . ref The statesman was one who possesses this special knowledge of how to rule justly and well and to have the best interests of the citizens at heart. It is presented that politics should be run by this knowledge, or gnosis . This claim runs counter to those who, the Stranger points out, actually did rule. Those that rule merely give the appearance of such knowledge, but in the end are really sophists or imitators. For, as the Stranger maintains, a sophist is one who does not know the right thing to do, but only appears to others as someone who does. The Stranger s ideal of how one arrives at this knowledge of power is through social divisions. The visitor takes great pains to be very specific about where and why the divisions are needed in order to properly rule the citizenry.

italic title Dialogues of Plato Platonism The Menexenus Greek is a Socraticdialogue of Plato , traditionally included in the seventh tetralogy along with the Hippias Major Greater and Hippias Minor Lesser Hippias and the Ion dialogue Ion . The characters are Socrates and Menexenus, who is not to be confused with Socrates son Menexenus . The Menexenus of Plato s dialogue appears also in his Lysis dialogue Lysis and the Phaedo . In the Lysis , he is identified as the son of Demophon 207b . The Menexenus consists mainly of a lengthy funeral oration , satirizing the one given by Pericles in Thucydides account of the Peloponnesian War . In this way the Menexenus is unique among the Platonic dialogues, in that the actual dialogue serves primarily as exposition for the oration. For this reason, perhaps, the Menexenus has come under some suspicion of illegitimacy. Perhaps the most interest in the Menexenus stems from the fact that it is one of the few extant sources on the practice of Athens Athenian Funeral oration ancient Greece funeral oratory , even though it is a parody thereof.

italic title Dialogues of Plato Minos is one of the dialogues of Plato , featuring Socrates and a Companion. Its Authentication authenticity is doubted by W. R. M. Lamb because of its unsatisfying character, though he does consider it a fairly able and plausible imitation of Plato s early work. ref Lamb, Introduction to Minos , 386 ref Edith Hamilton and Huntington Cairns do not even include it among Plato s spurious works in their Collected Dialogues . Leo Strauss on the other hand considered the dialogue to be authentic enough to write a commentary on it. ref Strauss, On the Minos . ref The dialogue begins with Socrates asking his nameless companion, What is the law for us? It then proceeds to examine the nature of law before praising Minos , the Greek mythology mythical monarch king of Crete and an ancient enemy of Athens. Socrates defends an extraordinary definition of law as that which wishes to be the discovery of what is, as opposed to the companion s more common sense understanding that law is the decreed official opinion of a city. The culminating praise of Minos seems part of Socrates intention to liberate the companion from loyalty to Athens and its opinions.
