Before one can examine a path to knowledge‚ one must try to understand‚ and define what knowledge is. In Plato’s Five dialogues‚ Socrates critiques the individuals who are thought to be the most knowledgeable‚ specifically in the Apology‚ when Socrates is explaining a conversation he had with a well-respected intellectual in the community. Socrates states: "When I began to talk with him‚ I could not help thinking that he was not really wise‚ although he was thought wise by many‚ and wiser still

According to the Crito dialogue‚ Socrates argues that "two wrongs don’t make a right." In this argument‚ Socrates claims that no matter how unjust someone was treated‚ it never gives them justification to injury someone. I will argue that there is a potential objection to the claim of Socrates’ argument. I will show that it is possible to oppose the idea that with or without prior injustice from someone it is unjust to do injury to them; by showing that without prior injustice it is justifiable

Socrates himself makes a point to admit his

Socrates goes on to ask Agathon if a father must be father to something in order to be called a father.
