Excerpt: ...dialogues "of search."8 Even positions are taken in which the speaker does not necessarily believe, for the sake of the argument. Thrasymachus says: "I may be in earnest or not, but what is that to you?--to refute the argument is your business."9 Glaucon maintains the cause of injustice, though confessedly not believing it," in order that he may see how the position can be refuted.10 In the Gorgias (462) Socrates gives Polus a lesson in the method of argumentation.. In the Phtzdo (ioo ff.) there is quite a long digression on method. The Parmenides is from one point of view, taken as a whole, an exposition of method. When Socrates is involved in certain difficulties regarding the Ideas, Parmenides explains that this arises out of his attempting to define the beautiful, the just, the good, and the ideas generally, without sufficient previous training. The special lack in his training is pointed out, and it is indicated wherein he could get better training. Parmenides is asked to give an illustration of the method which he has indicated. This he proceeds reluctantly to do. On the side of form, the dialogue Parmenides is the outcome.11 Soph., 218. "Soph., 218-21.

PLATO'S DOGMATISM.12 It may seem a little inappropriate at first thought to discuss dogmatism under the general head of method. But there seems to be no better place for its discussion in this book without involving repetitions. The dogmatism of Plato has a bearing on method, even if it cannot be said to be a part of method. The term "dogmatic" is often used as a term of reproach. Plato was a dogmatist in the better sense of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word "critical" in the title of this collection has three meanings, all of which are relevant. One meaning, as applied to a situation or problem, is "at a point of crisis". A second meaning is "expressing adverse or disapproving comments or judgments". A third is related to the verb "to critique", meaning "to analyze the merits and faults of". The authors contributing to this book pose challenging questions, from multiple perspectives, about the roles of mathematics in society and the implications for education. Traditional reasons for teaching mathematics include: preparing a new generation of mathematics researchers and a cadre of technically competent users of mathematics; training students to think logically; and because mathematics is as much part of cultural heritage as literature or music. These reasons remain valid, though open to critique, but a deeper analysis is required that recognizes the roles of mathematics in framing many aspects of contemporary society, that will connect mathematics education to the lived experiences of students, their communities, and society in general, and that acknowledges the global ethical responsibilities of mathematicians and mathematics educators. The book is organized in four sections (1) Mathematics education: For what and why? (2) Globalization and cultural diversity, (3) Mathematics, education, and society and (4) Social justice in, and through, mathematics education The chapters address fundamental issues such as the relevance of school mathematics in people's lives; creating a sense of agency for the field of mathematics education, and redefining the relationship between mathematics as discipline, mathematics as school subject and mathematics as part of people's lives.

Download or read book Dialectic and Dialogue written by Dmitri Nikulin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the emergence of dialectic out of the spirit of dialogue and traces the relation between the two. It moves from Plato, for whom dialectic is necessary to destroy incorrect theses and attain thinkable being, to Cusanus, to modern philosophers—Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Schleiermacher and Gadamer, for whom dialectic becomes the driving force behind the constitution of a rational philosophical system. Conceived as a logical enterprise, dialectic strives to liberate itself from dialogue, which it views as merely accidental and even disruptive of thought, in order to become a systematic or scientific method. The Cartesian autonomous and universal yet utterly monological and lonely subject requires dialectic alone to reason correctly, yet dialogue, despite its unfinalizable and interruptive nature, is what constitutes the human condition.

Download or read book Plato s Philebus written by George H. Rudebusch and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the fourth century BCE, Philebus is likely one of Plato’s last Socratic dialogues. It is also famously difficult to read and understand. A multilayered inquiry into the nature of life, Philebus has drawn renewed interest from scholars in recent years. Yet, until now, the only English-language commentary available has been a work published in 1897. This much-needed new commentary, designed especially for philosophers and advanced students of ancient Greek, draws on up-to-date scholarship to expand our understanding of Plato’s complex work. In his in-depth introduction, George Rudebusch places the Philebus in historical, philosophical, and linguistic context. As he explains, the dialogue deals with the question of whether a good life consists of pleasure or knowing. Yet its exploration of this question is riddled with ambiguity. With the goal of facilitating comprehension, particularly for students of philosophy, Rudebusch divides his commentary into twenty discrete subarguments. Within this framework, he elucidates the significance—and possible interpretations—of each passage and dissects their philological details. In particular, he analyzes how Plato uses inference indicators (that is, the Greek words for “therefore” and “because”) to establish the structure of the arguments, markers difficult to present in translation. A detailed and thorough commentary, this volume is both easy to navigate and conducive to new interpretations of one of Plato’s most intriguing dialogues.
