5 REVIEW: APOLOGY Socrates on philosophy. The gadfly metaphor. Socrates on death. Big Question Why does Socrates chose to stay in Athens and accept execution?
6 Early Middle Late Example: Euthyphro Example: Phaedo Example: Republic Elenchus Elenchus + The Theory of the Forms The Theory of the Forms

8 THE STRUCTURE OF AN ELENCTIC ARGUMENT The candidate for the elenchus, C, produces a sincere belief, P... Under questioning, C accepts Q and R (or Q, R, S etc.). Q and R entail not-p. C's commitment to Q and R is sufficiently strong that, faced with the contradictory conclusion, he finds P to be problematic, not Q or R. P is refuted. (Source: C.D.C. Reeve Socrates in the Apology (Hackett, 1989), 40.)

16 Socrates: Sir Charles, you re confusing me! You say that Lebron James is the greatest basketball player of all time. But he is a poor role model, he has never won a championship, and when/if he does win one in Miami, he ll play second fiddle to Dwayne Wade. So he can t be the greatest Charles:..
17 Aporia: philosophical puzzlement, usually at the culmination of the elenchus. C: P and not-p C finds P problematic and becomes confused. The Jack Sparrow Moment.
18 THERE IS AN ELENCHUS SKILLS ASSIGNMENT Structure: The candidate for the elenchus, C, produces a sincere belief, P... Under questioning, C accepts Q and R (or Q, R, S etc.). Q and R entail not-p C's commitment to Q and R is sufficiently strong that, faced with the contradictory conclusion, he finds P to be problematic, not Q or R. P is refuted. (Source: C.D.C. Reeve Socrates in the Apology (Hackett, 1989), 40.)
19 Discussion Question Is the elenchus a purely destructive philosophical method? Or can it also be constructive? Are you satisfied with the elenchus as Socrates s primary philosophical method? What is lacking? Structure: The candidate for the elenchus, C, produces a sincere belief, P... Under questioning, C accepts Q and R (or Q, R, S etc.). Q and R entail not-p C's commitment to Q and R is sufficiently strong that, faced with the contradictory conclusion, he finds P to be problematic, not Q or R. P is refuted. (Source: C.D.C. Reeve Socrates in the Apology (Hackett, 1989), 40.)

21 WHY INTRODUCE FORMS? Address Two Central Questions: 1. Metaphysical The Problem of Identity: What makes something what it is? How does it persist in this identity over time? 2. Epistemic Meno s Paradox, or The Paradox of Inquiry (Meno 80d-e) If you don t know what you re looking for, then isn t inquiry impossible?
22 A FORM IS Sometimes translated "idea (eidos) (but forms are mind-independent) Incorporeal (passim) Divine (80a3, b1) Eternal (79d2) Unchangeable (78c10-d9) Intelligible, not perceptible (79a1-5) Cause (aitia) of being ( The one over many ) (100c; also see Rep.596a) OMA Principle: Whenever we can apply a single term to more than one sensible object, there is a corresponding Form to that sensible object. (100c; also see Rep.596a)
23 FORM: THE ONE OVER MANY I think that, if there is anything beautiful besides the Beautiful itself, it is beautiful for no other reason than it participates in that Beautiful, and I say so with everything. (100c) Form Object 1 Object 2 Object 3 OMA Principle: Whenever we can apply a single term to more than one sensible object, there is a corresponding Form to that sensible object. (100c; also see Rep.596a)
24 MIRROR TO NATURE VS. ONE OVER MANY Form Object 1 Object 2 Object 3 OMA Principle: Whenever we can apply a single term to more than one sensible object, there is a corresponding Form to that sensible object. (100c; also see Rep.596a)
25 A FORM IS TO A SENSIBLE OBJECT AS THE ARCHITECT S BLUEPRINT IS TO THE BUILDING
26 FORM The Theory of the Forms
27
28 DISCUSSION QUESTION Think about the most beautiful person in the world. (A) On the Theory of the Forms, why is this person beautiful? (B) On the Theory of the Forms, how do you know that this person is beautiful?
29 THE IMPERFECTION ARGUMENT (PHAEDO 74-76) This is both an argument for (a) the existence of forms and (b) an argument for our possession of a priori concepts. Plato bases the argument on (a) the imperfection of sensible objects and (b) our ability to make judgments about those sensible objects. The Basic Idea. We cannot abstract the concept of Beauty from our sense-experience of objects that are beautiful. This is because: We never experience (in sense-perception) objects that are really, precisely, beautiful, and We must already have the concept of Beauty in order to judge the things we encounter in sense-perception to be approximately, imperfectly, beautiful.
30 THE IMPERFECTION ARGUMENT (74-76) 1. We perceive sensible objects to be F. 2. But every sensible object is, at best, imperfectly F. (That is, it is both F and not F. It falls short of being perfectly F.) 3. We are aware of this imperfection in the objects of perception. 4. So we perceive objects to be imperfectly F. 5. To perceive something as imperfectly F, one must have in mind something that is perfectly F, something that the imperfectly F things fall short of. 6. So we have in mind something that is perfectly F. 7. Thus, there is something that is perfectly F, that we have in mind in such cases. /.: There is such a thing as the F itself, and it is distinct from any sensible object.
