Introduction to Socrates

In the first lecture of this 3 part series we look at the Socratic problem, which is the problem as to whether we can arrive at knowledge of the historical Socrates. In the final two lectures we examine the life and ideas of Socrates.

Socrates: The Socratic Problem 10:28  In this lecture we investigate what is known as the Socratic problem, which is the problem as to whether we can arrive at knowledge of the historical Socrates, or whether he will always remain nothing but a work of fiction. We also look at the Socrates of Plato's dialogues, and consider the question as to whether Plato was using Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own views, or espousing the actual ideas of the real Socrates.
Socrates: The Man and His Life 8:34 In this lecture we investigate the life of Socrates. In particular, we look at two monumental events in his life: his encounter with the oracle at Delphi which pronounced him to be the wisest of all men, and his trial and subsequent execution.
The Ideas of Socrates 10:56 In this lecture we examine the ideas of Socrates. We look at his exhortation to 'care for your soul', his conviction that knowledge of virtue is necessary to become virtuous, his belief that all evil acts are committed out of ignorance and hence involuntarily, and finally his presumption that committing an injustice is far worse than suffering an injustice.

Graham Harman on Metaphysics, Art, & Speculative Realism


source: Philosophical Overdose    2013年4月22日
In this talk, Graham Harman discusses two types of philosophical paradox pertaining to human knowledge, and the relation that art has to both. The first is one discussed by Meno and Socrates, resulting in the Socratic claim that we both have and do not have the truth. Our inability to gain direct access to reality is what justifies philosophy as philosophia (the love of wisdom rather than wisdom itself) and rules out both mathematism and scientism as defensible models of philosophy. The second paradox is the familiar dispute over whether truth is discovered or constructed. Given that no direct access to reality is possible, the observation of truth itself seems to be part of the truth, yet the observer also cannot create truth ex nihilo. These two paradoxes are not new, but if we look at them carefully, we can draw new conclusions from them. In this way, a different light is shed on the relation between philosophy and art.
Graham Harman is part of the object-oriented and speculative realist movement. For Harman, objects aren't reducible to mere bundles of properties/qualities, or their various relations to and effects on, other objects. Instead, Harman understands the nature of objects as real independent substances in their own right, over and above their manifold appearances and qualities. Otherwise, objects lose their underlying identity as something real, and end up being mere appearances, analyzable in terms of something else more fundamental. This object-oriented approach leads Harman to a pluralistic vision of the world, in contrast to the more holistic and monistic tendency which has characterized much traditional and contemporary philosophy.

The series begins with an examination of understanding of anger articulated in Ancient Greek Epic and Tragedy -- particularly in Homer's Illiad, Euripides' Medea, and Sophocles Ajax.

Alain Badiou. Beyond Positivism and Nihilism. 2010.


source: European Graduate School      2011年5月3日
http://www.egs.edu/ Alain Badiou, French philosopher and author, discusses the dialectic nature of philosophy, as something beyond positivism and nihilism. In this lecture, Alain Badiou articulates the opposition between Analytic Philosophy and Dialectic Philosophy, and this opposition's correspondence to the relationship between existence and being qua being. Badiou argues that there is a distance between 'to be' and 'to exist' and that this distance is of a dialectical nature, and that philosophy is the dialectical movement from being to existence, a movement which is not between but beyond both nihilism and positivism. During the lecture Badiou uses and discusses the concepts positivism, nihilism, negation, dialectics, ontology, knowledge, subjective experience, angst, as well as Descartes and Socrates, and the question of the what the beginning of philosophy is.
