Philosphy Greek Philo Sophia LOVE of KNOWLEDGE Do Now: Give your best answer to the question below in 1 OR 2 SENTENCES. What is “knowledge”?

Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of particular aspects of reality. It is the clear, lucid information gained through the process of reason applied to reality.

”an unexamined life is not worth living” Socrates

SOCRATES Lived 469 – 399 BCE One of the founders of Western Philosophy No writings or theories Always asks questions about things he finds interesting Socratic Dialectic Executed for corrupting the Athenian youth Plato - describes him as a irritating insect

SOCRATIC DIALECTIC – A method of discovering the truth. Not a debate! Not persuasion! You do not assume that you have the answer or that your viewpoint is better than somebody else’s. You are in a mutual conversation with somebody to improve your understanding and help another person improve theirs. You work together to arrive at the truth.

SOCRATIC DIALECTIC A guide for arriving at the truth Intellectual midwifery (maieutic)

SOCRATIC DIALECTIC KNOWLEDGE The teacher does not try to feed the students knowledge or truth. The teacher is just a guide to arriving at certain truths The students are active agents in the acquisition of knowledge. The students are no longer passive recipients of knowledge. KNOWLEDGE

Class on Socratic Dialectic Explain the dialectical processes Show the ”dialectical chain” and how it works. For students in to groups of four Give students a beginning question for a dialectical chain (ie: What is truth?) Have them work singly to create a four (?) response “dialectical chain” that comes to a conclusion about the answer to the beginning question. Students the come together in groups of 4-6 and, together, create a new, well-thought dialectical chain which draws on everybody’s work Presentation to Class along with defense of their conclusion.
