Example text
1 Why this method? While Socrates may not follow some strict method of inquiry, then, we do see him act in distinctive ways in his exchanges with others. He holds conversations with those who purport to have knowledge, examining their accounts of those topics that they claim to know. Without fail, his interlocutors are not able to withstand his questions and Socrates leaves without coming to have knowledge. If we think about this method in the context of Socrates the philosopher seeking the wisdom he loves and desires, then we’re left in a state of perplexity ourselves.
Just what the relationship is between moral knowledge and techne is a difficult and quite contentious question. Irwin 1977 argues that moral knowledge just is a techne. Vlastos 1991 rejects this, saying instead that while it shares features of other technai there are important disanalogies. Klosko 1981 rejects the idea that it is a techne at all. Roochnik 1986 argues that while moral knowledge is a type of techne, we ought not think that technai are necessarily productive and moral knowledge is an example of a nonproductive techne.
This motivation of Socrates’ is idiosyncratic to him, the individual. He does not have this motivation insofar as he is a philosopher but instead he has it because the gods have commanded him specifically to do this. If Socrates had this motivation qua philosopher, then we would expect him to command others to similarly exhort others to virtue. But we don’t ever see him do this. In the Apology, he exhorts his fellow citizens to have a care for their own soul and to care for wisdom. The greatest good for man, Socrates says, is to "discuss virtue every day and those other things about which you hear me conversing and testing myself and others"; it is to inquire into the most important truths.
