Philosophy 2080 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Dialectic
Document Summary
B3 the guardians share everything in common. B8 all you need to know is what i am going to say to you today. B10 talk about it briefly, but it"s just what the prof says. There"s more in the text, but we are not responsible for it. B2 parts are left out so you can see that nothing is mentioned, that"s why notes are. Philosophers must have power: there doesn"t seem to be anyone in power presently who is a philosopher. Book 6: this is where philosophy is different from other disciplines: philosophy was seen as useless. It"s not useful for anything: it"s useful if you want to be able to think clearly. Being able to think clearly when most people are thinking confusedly makes you the one confused because you"re not really listening to others: no one"s taking you seriously it"s a matter of fact.
