Socrates The phrase Socratic paradox can refer to two separate things.

Book I. ref The question that arises is how he knows that he knows nothing, if this is the only information he possesses.

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.

Image Socratic Puzzles.jpg thumb 200px 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.

In it, Socrates describes to his friend Crito of Alopece Crito a visit he and various youths paid to two brothers, Euthydemos Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, both of whom were prominent Sophists from Chios and Thurii . The Euthydemus contrasts Socratic method Socratic argumentation and education with the methods of Sophism, to the detriment of the latter. 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. As in many of the Socratic dialogues , the two Sophists whom Socrates argues against 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 .

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 ... .

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.

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 speakers are Socrates and Menexenus, who is not to be confused with Socrates son Menexenus . The Menexenus of Plato s dialogue appears also in the Lysis dialogue Lysis , where he is identified as the son of Demophon , ref Plato, Lysis , 207b ref as well as the Phaedo . The Menexenus consists mainly of a lengthy funeral oration , satirizing the one given by Pericles in Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War account of the Peloponnesian War . Socrates here delivers to Menexenus a speech that he claims to have learned from Aspasia , a consort of Pericles and prominent female Classical Athens Athenian intellectual. 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, although Aristotle s invocation of the text on multiple occasions seems to reinforce its authenticity. ref John M. Cooper in Plato, Complete Dialogues . Indianapolis Hackett Publishing, 2002 ref Much of the interest in the Menexenus stems from the fact that it is one of the few extant sources on the practice of Athenian Funeral oration ancient Greece funeral oratory , even though it parodies the medium.
