Socratic Philosophy and Philosophizing Discussion
Description
1. Explain three Socratic principles in your own words
2. Pick a passage from the readings (Plato’s Republic, books I or II) and play Socrates with it. Ask it The Questions from Josefson’s Guide to Being a Philosopher and write out the responses of the text and your fellow philosophers
-An excellent answer would be able to illustrate how a character illustrates one of the classic perspectives in the text (or transcends those perspectives) and the difference between that perspective and Socrates.
I Will attach Plato’s Republic and Josefson’s Guide to Being a Philosopher for question 2!
