{"product_id":"socratic-wisdom","title":"Socratic Wisdom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile the early Platonic dialogues have often been explored and appreciated for their ethical content, this is the first book devoted solely to the epistemology of Plato's early dialogues. Author Hugh H. Benson argues that the characteristic features of these dialogues--Socrates' method of questions and answers (elenchos), his fascination with definition, his professions of ignorance, and his thesis that virtue is knowledge--are decidedly epistemological.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn this thoughtful study, Benson uncovers the model of knowledge that underlies these distinctively Socratic views. What emerges is unfamiliar, yet closer to a contemporary conception of scientific understanding\n\u003cbr\u003ethan ordinary knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156594716910,"sku":"9780195129182","price":447.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195129182.jpg?v=1706251228","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/socratic-wisdom","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
