The fact that you don't understand the words he's using does not mean he doesn't know how to teach, it just means you're retarded.

@KGX16 Yes, Chaerephon (who was dead by the time of the trial, though his brother was apparently present and able to corroborate if needed).

wasn't it a friend of socrates tthat went to the oracle and was told that socrates is the wisest man in athens? and not socrates himself?

I watched/listened to all six segaments. Wow! Very interesting and thought provoking.

I think Stephane is wrong here, It is not because we lack of pation that philosophy fails. I think it is because the socratic principles are not the foundation of education, therefore most of the educational system ''sophisticates'' or endoctrinates people with a shit ton ''general knowledge'' instead of teaching them Socratic questionning because it disturbs the established views of the Era.
Also Wisdom skills are not that well rewarded in this competitive system.

The oracle said "dude" lol.

@stefbot Wouldn't it be safe to say that using passion as a weapon just like those we wish to liberate would be contradictory to the teachings of truth? I agree, using passion is effective, but only because of the "sex sells" mentallity of it, not because intellectuals (ironic, i know, my spelling is awful) actually need to experience passion to experience truth. The "masses" those, less..... literate and down to earth, need the emotional charge of passion, those in need of truth i believe don'

What you are doing is using rationality while discarding the philosophical foundations upon which it rests.
Science uses mathematics which is an applied philosophy.Mathematics rest on an axiomatic structure whose statements are assumed to be true.Truth and falsehood in mathematics are nonverifiable ideas, just as numbers themselves have no objective reality "out there"..
Science and rationality are tools, no more, no less.

"Truth and falsehood in mathematics are nonverifiable ideas" - did that statement ever work on your math teachers? :)

Truth and falsehood are ideas in the mind..a logical conceptual framework must be constructed and there must be a bijective mapping (for discrete) or homeomorphic mapping (for continuous) between the framework and "reality" out there..of course even in a very simple framework you will still end up with propositions that cannot be proven or disproven.

Of course truth is an idea in the mind, that does not make it merely subjective - so is the scientific method... :)
