Ignorance, Irony, and Knowledge in Plato - Hardcover

by Kevin Crotty (Author)

Ignorance, Irony and Knowledge in Plato shows that Socratic ignorance--knowing that you don't know--is central to Plato's philosophy, especially in his use of dialogue and his theory of knowledge. Plato's philosophical career can be understood as a progressive deepening of his appreciation of Socratic ignorance and its rich implications.
