27
The 5 stages of socratic Dialog
Wonder
Reflect
Refine and cross-examine
Restate
Repeat
28
receive what the other person has to say, listen to their view or premise
Wonder
29
Sum up the person’s viewpoint and clarify your understanding of what you have heard.
Reflect
30
Ask the person to provide evidence that supports their view. Discover the thoughts, assumptions and facts underlying their beliefs. Challenge these assumptions to test their validity.
Refine and cross-examine
31
“Why” questions are frequently used in this stage to identify any fallacies in their reasoning.
Refine and cross-examine
32
the new assumption resulting from the inquiry.
Restate
33
Start back at the beginning with the new assumptions. This iterative process helps drill the premise down to the core issues in an attempt to strip away all fallacies and to arrive at the truth, best answer, most appropriate decision – whatever you happen to be looking for
Repeat
34
"In order to examine into the truth, it is necessary, once in one’s life to
doubt of all things, so far as this is possible.”
Rene Descartes
35
“The safest characterization of western philosophy is that of a
series of footnotes to Plato.”
Alfred North Whitehead
36

3 Nature of Knowledge
Perception > Abstraction > Judgement
41
This stage does not make us different from animals. T
Perception
42
2 types of perception
Internal and External Perception
43
Imagination and memory.
Internal
44
The product is an image or phantasm.
Internal
45
Senses that perceive the world.
External
46
The product is percept
External
47
This stage distinguishes us from animals.
Abstract
48
This is sometimes
called simple apprehension.
Abstract
49
“simple apprehension is the act of perceiving the object
intellectually, without affirming or denying anything
concerning it. To apprehend is to take hold of the thing as if
with the hand; an apprehension, as an act of the mind, is an
intellectual grasping of an object.”v
According to Charles Coppens,
50
“simple apprehension is the act of perceiving the object
intellectually, without affirming or denying anything
concerning it. To apprehend is to take hold of the thing as if
with the hand; an apprehension, as an act of the mind, is an
intellectual grasping of an object.” The product of this
process is called a
Concept
51
Once words are associated with
concepts, they are called
Terms
51
This stage involves affirming or denying concepts
Judgement
52
The act of judgement is combining two or more
concepts together.
Putting two or more concepts together to
make a statement or proposition.
53
This completes the act of the mind for knowledge to become
possible
Judgement
54
2 Types of Statements
- Analytic Statements
- Empirical Statements
55
The truth or falsity of the knowledge claim being
made by
Analytic Statement
56
are also identified as truths of
language, truths of reason, maters of logic, A Priori, or
formal statements.
Analytic Statement
57
Its truth or falsity depends on the state of affairs being
claimed.
Empirical Statement
58
You will not be able to discover the truth of the statement
by mere analysis of the key terms but you have to go
outside of the statement and to look and to see whether
the state of affairs claimed actually corresponds with the
empirical world.
Empirical Statement
59
It is also identified as truths of fact, synthetic, matters of
fact, or a posteriori.
Empirical System
60
2 types of knowledge
Formal and emperical knowledge
61
Includes mathematics, logic, linguistics etc.
Formal knowledge
62
Method of validation depends entirely on the particular
system being used.
Formal knowledge
63
Includes hard sciences and soft sciences
Emperical Knowledge
64
Takes emphasis and makes useof the data or the content from experience and its correspondence with the state of
affairs to establish the truth or falsity of their knowledge
claims from these empirical sciences.
Emperical knowledge
65
can often be used to mislead people
Logical fallacies
66
Unfairly attacking a person instead of the issue. Attacking the character and/or reputation of a position’s supporters; “Guilty by association
Ad Hominem (Argument Against Man)
67
Occurs when an opponent’s position is misinterpreted to make it easier to critique. Just like a .... resembling an actual man, an argument is presented
that resembles the original argument but is not the actual
argument.
Strawman
68
This line of reasoning
fails by limiting the options to two when there are in fact more
options to choose from. Sometimes the choices are between one thing, the other thing, or both things together (they don’t
exclude each other).
False Dilemma/False Dichotomy -
69
When a person’s argument is just repeating what they already assumed beforehand, it’s not arriving at any new conclusion. We call this a circular argument or circular reasoning.
Circular Argument/ Begging the Question (Petitio
principii)
70
are typically related to the issue in question but aren’t quite relevant enough to be
helpful. Instead of clarifying and focusing they confuse and
distract
Red Herring (Ignorantio Elenchi) -
71
Fallacy assumes something is true (or right, or good) because other people agree with it. A couple different fallacies can be
included under this label, since they are often
indistinguishable in practice.
Bandwagon Fallacy (Argumentum ad Populum) -
72
Personal attacks, and emotional appeals, aren’t strictly relevant to whether something is true or false. In this case, the fallacy
appeals to the compassion and emotional sensitivity of others
when these factors are not strictly relevant to the argument.
Appeal to Pity (Argumentum ad Misericordiam)
73
This fallacy happens when we misuse an authority. This misuse of authority can occur in a number of ways. We can cite only authorities—steering conveniently away from other testable and concrete evidence as if expert opinion is always correct. Or we can cite irrelevant authorities, poor authorities, or false authorities.
Appeal to Authority (Argumentum ad Verecundiam) -
74
True and real knowledge exist in the
World of forms
75
describes the process of the
enlightenment of the soul
The Allegory of the Cave
76
This ascent of the soul from the
world of opinion to the world of knowledge is called
Plato’s
Divided line

Plato's approach to ideas
78
"You wouldn't understand since you have never struggled"
Ad hominem(Arguments against man)

84
