Socrates: The Socratic Conundrum

In this lecture we investigate what is known as the Socratic problem, which is the problem as to whether we can arrive at knowledge of the historical Socrates, or whether he will always remain nothing but a work of fiction. We also look at the Socrates of Plato's dialogues, and consider the question as to whether Plato was using Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own views, or espousing the actual ideas of the real Socrates. =================================================== Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/academyofideas Recommended Readings: Socrates A Life Examined - Luis Navia - http://amzn.to/1TKy3HZ (affiliate link) For more videos, video transcripts, and more, visit: http://academyofideas.com/ =================================================== --- Learn more about your ad choices.
