  • What is Knowledge?
    Apr 6 2023

    Today we begin our discussion of Plato’s Theaetetus. We start by considering how some of our friends answered the question: What is knowledge? Then, we discuss the difference between knowledge and the kinds of knowledge and we briefly go over Socrates’ famous midwife passage. We end by inquiring in a preliminary way into the relationship between Theaetetus’s claim that knowledge is perception and Protagoras’s that man is the measure of all things.

    Mar 28 2023

    After another long break, today we finally finish discussing Plato’s dialogue on friendship, the Lysis. In this episode, we cover Socrates’ refutation of last episode’s conclusion, the role of desire in friendship, whether or not evil is the cause of friendship, and the fact that friendship is so hard to give an account of despite the fact that we all seem to know we have friends.
