Socrates, Thoemmes
Socrates’s best known student was Plato
(427-347 BCE), a young aristocrat. In point of
fact, Plato’s given name was Aristocles, but he
came to be known by the nickname “Plato”
which designated his broad shoulders.
Upon Socrates’s execution, Plato continued
the Socratic quest. Plato in the second half of
his dialogue Protagoras investigates
Socrates’s explanation of that aspect of his
philosophy often termed “the Socratic
Paradox”.
According to Socrates, virtue is knowledge,
because: all living things aim for their
perceived good; and therefore if anyone
doesn’t know what is good, he cannot do
what is good because he will always aim for a
mistaken target; but if someone knows what
is good, he will do what is good, because he
will aim for what is good.
This article has been aired on Kompas.com with the title "Temuan
Anggaran Janggal DKI, Anies: Saya Tidak Bersalah“.
Now the rest of the world are of opinion that
knowledge is a principle not of strength, or of
rule, or of command: their notion is that a man
may have knowledge, and yet that the
knowledge which is in him may be
overmastered by anger, or pleasure, or pain, or
love, or perhaps by fear
Live pleasantly is a good, and to live
unpleasantly an evil?
Yes, he said, if the pleasure be good and
honourable.
And do you, Protagoras, like the rest of the
world, call some pleasant things evil and some
painful things good?
for I am rather disposed to say that things are
good in as far as they are pleasant, if they have
no consequences of another sort, and in as far
as they are painful they are bad.
Socrates affirming and Protagoras denying that
virtue can be taught. The result of our
discussion appears to me to be singular.there
are you, Socrates, who were saying that virtue
cannot be taught, contradicting yourself now by
your attempt to prove that all things are
knowledge, including justice, and temperance,
and courage, which tends to show that virtue
can certainly be taught; for if virtue were other
than knowledge, as Protagoras attempted to
prove, then clearly virtue can’t be taught.
