  • Plato Conception Of Knowledge Development Of Plato Conception Socrates
    1,148 words
    In looking at the development of Plato's conception of knowledge through the mouthpiece of Socrates, one can see that philosophy is about questioning the limits of knowledge. The ever popular and reoccurring question that philosophers want to know is what is everything? The beliefs and ideas of Socrates were shared by all philosophers of their time. Ignorance was a major Socratic theme. Socrates was very concerned with definitions. He was always questioning what something was, or even how someth...

  • Argument Through Question Thought He Knew Socrates
    980 words
    The methods of argument used by Socrates in the works of Plato focused on true knowledge. This method, known as the Socratic method is unconventional in that it is not a means of argument through persuasion or opinion, it is, rather, a means of argument through question and challenge. The method is a consideration of knowledge as being inherent to the human soul rather than a study of how things are. In this essay I will examine how this unique method relates and operates with the unique style o...

  • Four Foot First Place
    1,746 words
    To research Plato's paradox in the Meno, we can first consult the definition of what platonism is. Websters defines platonism as "actual things are copies of transcendent ideas and that these ideas are the objects of true knowledge apprehended by reminiscence. " For this essay, we will assume that transcendency is- "that which is beyond comprehension", and reminiscence as "past experience." The Meno is a dialogue between Socrates, a scholar and Meno, who eventually became an explorer. For this e...

    ter>"Shape is that which alone of existing things always follows color. "A shape is that which limits a solid; in a word, a shape is the limit of a solid. " In the play Meno, written by Plato, there is a point in which Meno asks that Socrates give a definition of shape. In the end of it, Socrates is forced to give two separate definitions, for Meno considers the first to be foolish. As the two definitions are read and compared, one is forced to wonder which, if either of the two, is tru...

  • Good And Bad Good Examples
    1,023 words
    Before reading the Meno I thought I had a clear definition of exactly what virtue meant. Once I read the dialogue I realized that I only have an idea of what virtue and being virtuous means. I definitely think that it has many aspects to it, including moderation, justice, effort, patience, knowledge and being able to live peacefully with others. I believe that virtue is something that everyone has their own meaning for, yet everyones meanings go along the same lines. Since virtue is more complex...

    ... w, he never will because until he dies. There is still the possibility. Once again, for anyone in society to become virtuous, good examples need to be set for them by family, peers and possibly role models. To begin, children learn the most in life from their parents. We adopt many of their views, habits, personality traits, etc. If they can set a good example, it should not be too hard to reject those ideals as one grows older. Children also pick up a great deal from their friends. So for k...

  • Teach His Son Virtue Cannot Be Taught Socrates
    1,027 words
    In Plato's Meno, Socrates discusses ways in which virtue can be acquired with Meno. Menos original question of whether virtue can be taught along with the more fundamental question of what virtue is occupies the entire text as Sophocles tries to bring about ways to answer. Three possibilities are confronted; first, that virtue is natural within the human soul; second, that virtue can be taught; and third, that virtue is a gift from the gods. These ways are debated by Socrates and Meno to a very ...

    Late in his life Socrates went around the market place having discussions with the countrymen. He believed that if someone claimed to know what X was then they should be able to define it. So he would usually ask a question such as, what is X? Socrates would not be pleased by just any answer; it had to be a solid definition. According to Socrates a solid definition consists of three conditions. The first is that the definition of X must hold true for all things that are X, but not for those thin...

  • Agree With Socrates Boy Agrees Virtue
    630 words
    Meno starts by questioning Socrates. Can virtue be taught? Socrates says to Meno, well, what makes a virtue a virtue. Meno comes to the borrowed point that virtue is "to find joy in beautiful things and have power." Socrates retorts by saying "do you think men desire just good things?" While explaining themselves they came upon what becomes Meno's Paradox. Is virtue something learned and can we learn things without already knowing them? Socrates defends the philosophy that if a man can recall on...

  • Things Socrates Taught Socrates Was Teaching Meno Virtue
    1,060 words
    Is Socrates a teacher? During the dialogue between Socrates and Meno one of the questions raised is can Socrates be a teacher of virtue. This question, however, becomes more complicated when the matter concerns virtue itself. For teaching virtue Socrates first must identify its meaning and nature and then argue if he can teach it or not. Further on, Socrates comes to discuss his own capability of teaching and his defence here is that he, as a philosopher, has his own students, or its better to s...

  • Virtue Is Acquired Definition Of Virtue Socrates
    316 words
    Summary of Meno In the Meno dialogue, Meno asks Socrates if he knows how virtue is acquired: by nature, or by teaching. Socrates replies that one cannot know how virtue is acquired unless one has a solid definition of virtue. Socrates then charges Meno with the task of offering him a sufficient and whole definition of what virtue really is. However, Socrates has already created a foundation upon which a whole and unbroken definition of virtue cannot logically be made: First, he claims that Meno ...

  • Plato Believes Rational Explanation
    1,784 words
    Plato's View in Human Knowledge Plato presents three different views about knowledge in Meno, Republic, and Theaetetus. In Menos case, Plato believes knowledge as something innate in us when we are born; in his later view, in Republic, Plato believes we perceive things and gain knowledge; and from the last view, in Theaetetus, Plato believes knowledge is the combination of a true opinion and a rational opinion. Strangely enough, Plato's views in Meno, Republic, and Theaetetus are similar, regard...

    We only choose what we think is good and if anyone chooses evil it must be through ignorance. Ignorance is not an excuse Molly Schweiger Philosophy 110, Section 07 01 David Turpin, 4 - 23 - 01 Plato believes that we always choose good unless we are ignorant. Plato claims being ignorant would be the only excuse for choosing evil. His views of this are apparent in the Meno. As I read up on whether or not we deliberately choose evil I realized there are many sides, many ways to answer this question...

  • Oxford Oxford University Kind Of Life
    2,628 words
    In his works, Plato writes about truth, justice, and reality in full detail. His ideas are greatly deep and persuasively argued. It is from him that all western philosophy is a footnote. He describes his view in a series of numerous dialogues. For my report, I have chosen four of his works to study, which I think were his most important. The Republic is a dialogue composed of 10 books. The theme in its entirety is justice. The characters of the dialogue are Socrates, who is the narrator; Glaucon...
