Socratic Wisdom: The Model of Knowledge in Plato's Early Dialogues by Hugh H. Be

Description: Socratic Wisdom by Hugh H. Benson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Benson attempts to uncover the epistemological view that underlies Socrates method of questions and answers, known as elenchos, Socrates fascination with definition, Socrates profession of ignorance, and Socrates thesis that virtue is knowledge. Publisher Description While the early Platonic dialogues have often been explored and appreciated for their ethical content, this is the first book devoted solely to the epistemology of Platos early dialogues. Author Hugh H. Benson argues that the characteristic features of these dialogues--Socrates method of questions and answers (elenchos), his fascination with definition, his professions of ignorance, and his thesis that virtue is knowledge--are decidedly epistemological.In this thoughtful study, Benson uncovers the model of knowledge that underlies these distinctively Socratic views. What emerges is unfamiliar, yet closer to a contemporary conception of scientific understandingthan ordinary knowledge. Author Biography Hugh H. Benson is Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma. He is the editor of "Essays on the Philosophy of Socrates" (1992) and author of "Socratic Wisdom" (2000) as well as various articles on the philosophy of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
