42. 20th WCP: Responding To Socrates’ Pedagogical Provocation An article by Anne-Marie Bowery which examines the text of the Symposium to illustrate two non-philosophical responses to socrates. http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Anci/AnciBowe.htm

Ancient Philosophy Anne-Marie Bowery Baylor University ABSTRACT: In this paper I examine the text of the Symposium Symposium In this paper, I examine the text of the Symposium 1. Imitation of Socrates' Non-narrative Behavior When Aristodemus arrives at Agathon's party without Socrates, his solitary appearance surprises Agathon. Upon seeing Aristodemus without Socrates, Agathon acts as if such an occurrence were an anomaly. Somewhat bewildered, Agathon exclaims "but where is he?" (174e8). Apparently, Aristodemus follows Socrates around everywhere. Apollodorus' concluding description of Aristodemus reveals that the man habitually followed Socrates everywhere; "He [Aristodemus] followed him [Socrates] just as he was accustomed" (223e10). Given this behavior, it is not surprising that Agathon cannot imagine a circumstance in which he would find Aristodemus without Socrates. Early in the dialogue, Apollodorus suggests that Aristodemus engages in this behavior because he is "obsessed with Socrates" (173b). When Apollodorus tells us that Aristodemus "followed Socrates just as he was accustomed" (223e10), he uses the word

43. Socratic Ignorance In Democracy, The Free Market, And Science Article taking the philosopher s views as starting points to examine democracy, caitalism, and science. http://www.friesian.com/socrates.htm

Socratic Ignorance in Democracy, the Free Market, and Science Democracy Much controversy continues over Socrates's attitude towards democracy. I.F. Stone, embarrassed that the first democracy should have killed a man for exercising freedom of speech and freedom of religion, attempted to justify this by going after Socrates as an enemy of democracy ( The Trial of Socrates ); but since Stone was busy defending Josef Stalin back in the Thirties, and even wrote a book in 1952, the Hidden History of the Korean War , defending the communist invasion of South Korea, his own democratic credentials are suspect. [Now we know, indeed, that Stone had dealings with the KGB, though how far it went, whether he was a paid agent of the Soviet Union, is unclear.] Indeed, an evaluation of Socrates essentially depends on the question of what democracy is supposed to be. That can be answered in due course. There are three places in the Apology that provide evidence about Socrates's attitude towards the democracy in Athens. The first is at 20e, where Socrates relates the story of Chaerephon asking Delphi if anyone was wiser than Socrates. He says that Chaerephon was his friend and the friend of many of the jury, sharing their exile and their return. Exile and return? Well, of course, the exile of the democrats from Athens, after the fall of the city in 404, and during the Spartan occupation and the regime of the Thirty Tyrants. That makes Chaerephon sound like a pretty serious partisan of the democracy. Would such a one think of Socrates as the wisest man, to the point of asking Delphi about it, if Socrates were conspicuously against the democracy? Not likely. That is not decisive evidence, naturally, but it is suggestive in connection with other things.

The latter remains a commonly-used tool in a wide range of discussions, and is a type of pedagogy epistemology and logic , and the influence of his ideas and approach remains strong in providing a foundation for much western philosophy which followed eventually. As one recent commentator has put it, Plato, the idealist, offers "an idol, a masterly figure, for philosophy. A Saint, a prophet of the 'Sun-Good', a teacher condemned for his teachings as an heretic." yet the 'real' Socrates, like many of the other Ancient philosophers, remains at best enigmatic and at worst unknown.

Books About Ancient Greece Study Guide Compiled by Michael J. Cummings Who Was Socrates Socrates was a gifted thinker of ancient Athens who helped lay the foundation of western philosophy. The methods he used and the concepts he proposed, along with his courageous defense of his ideas against his enemies, profoundly influenced the philosophical and moral tenor of western thought over the centuries. His refusal to compromise his intellectual intregrity in the face of a death sentence set an example for all the world to follow. What Is Philosophy? Philosophy is a discipline that attempts to identify the basic principles governing all existing things, as well as the makeup of these things, through investigations that rely on the application of reason rather than faith. Unlike science, philosophy permits intelligent speculation, via logical arguments, on what is or is not true. For example, the great Italian philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) used reason alone to form his famous arguments for the existence of God. In developing his ideas, Aquinas relied heavily on the philosophy of Aristotle, who was a pupil of Plato. Plato, in turn, was a pupil of Socrates. The word philosophy comes from the Greek word philosophia , meaning love of wisdom Key Facts About Socrates Birth and Death : Socrates was born in in 469 B.C. He was executed in 399 B.C. after a trial in which he was found guilty of promoting dangerous ideas.

Nothing is known of his parentage and his early years with the exception of a few details found in his own works. He tells us himself ( Church History V.24 ) that he studied under the grammarians Helladius and Ammonius, and from the title of scholasticus which is given to him it has been concluded that he belonged to the legal profession. The greater part of his life was spent in Constantinople , for which reason , as he admits, the affairs of that city occupy such a large part in his works. From the manner in which he speaks of other cities and from his references as an eyewitness to events which happened outside Constantinople , he is credited with having visited other countries in the East . Though a layman he was excellently qualified to recount the history of ecclesiastical affairs. Love of history , especially the history of his own time, and a warm admiration for impelled him to undertake the task in which he was sustained by the urgent solicitation of a certain Theodorus to whom his work is dedicated .

For this, Socrates is customarily regarded as the father and fountainhead for ethics or moral philosophy, and of philosophy in general. The Socratic method is a negative method of hypotheses elimination, in that better hypotheses are found by steadily identifying and eliminating those which lead to contradictions. The method of Socrates is a search for the underlying hypotheses, assumptions, or axioms , which may unconsciously shape one's opinion, and to make them the subject of scrutiny, to determine their consistency with other beliefs.

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C ... Z Cynics Cynicism originates in the philosophical schools of ancient Greece that claim a Socratic lineage. To call the Cynics a “school” though, immediately raises a difficulty for so unconventional and anti-theoretical a group. Their primary interests are ethical, but they conceive of ethics more as a way of living than as a doctrine in need of explication. As such askēsis— a Greek word meaning a kind of training of the self or practice—is fundamental. The Cynics, as well as the Stoics who followed them, characterize the Cynic way of life as a “shortcut to virtue” (see Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers , Book 6, Chapter 104 and Book 7, Chapter 122). Though they often suggest that they have discovered the quickest, and perhaps surest, path to the virtuous life, they recognize the difficulty of this route. The colorfulness of the Cynic way of life presents certain problems. The triumph of the Cynic as a philosophical and literary character complicates discussions of the historical individuals, a complication further troubled by a lack of sources. The evidence regarding the Cynics is limited to apothegms, aphorisms, and ancient hearsay; none of the many Cynic texts have survived. The tradition records the tenets of Cynicism via their lives. It is through their practices, the selves and lives that they cultivated, that we come to know the particular Cynic ēthos Table of Contents History of the Name Major Figures and the Cynic Lineage Cynic Ethics Living in Accord with Nature and Opposing Conventions ...
